Import Tips
• Provide USDA or equivalent organic certification documentation matching General Statistical Note 6 approved standards at entry
• Verify entry date falls July 15-Aug 31; use refrigeration bills of lading to prove fresh/chilled state unsuitable for immediate consumption if needed
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring weight over 0.9 kg or non-globe shapes, which shift to other subheadings
