Import Tips
• Verify USDA NOP organic certification and include Certificate of Analysis with shipment to prove compliance
• Ensure bulbs remain whole and unpeeled; any peeling shifts to HTS 0703.20.0025
• Maintain cold chain under 7°C during transit to preserve 'fresh or chilled' status and avoid reclassification
