Import Tips
• Attach USDA-equivalent organic certificate per General Statistical Note 6; missing docs trigger reclassification
• Segregate organic from conventional in shipments to prevent cross-contamination claims
• Use ventilated packaging to maintain freshness; spoilage voids seasonal fresh status
