Import Tips
• Verify USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification with transaction records and ensure chain-of-custody documentation
• Maintain cold chain (0-4°C) during transport to prevent spoilage; declare as 'fresh or chilled' accurately
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as non-organic; inspect for pesticide residues at entry
