Import Tips

Verify USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification with Certificate of Analysis (CoA) matching shipment details to avoid reclassification

Maintain cold chain (0-4°C) documentation to prove 'fresh or chilled' status and prevent duty shifts to preserved vegetables

Declare exact variety and weight; common pitfall is mixing organic/non-organic lots leading to full shipment rejection
