Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'certified organic greenhouse tomatoes' with certifying body details to avoid reclassification during CBP exam
• Maintain cold chain documentation (chilled temp logs) to confirm 'fresh or chilled' status; warming risks shifting to other headings
• Avoid mixing with non-organic lots in containers; segregation required to prevent commingling penalties
