Import Tips
• Verify USDA organic certification documentation and ensure entry during restricted periods (Mar 1-Jul 14 or Sep 1-Nov 14) to avoid reclassification
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming fresh/chilled state and greenhouse origin; inspect for compliance with statistical note 2 on round shape
• Avoid common pitfalls like missing seasonal declarations or non-organic labeling, which could trigger audits or higher duties
