Import Tips & Compliance

Verify USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification documentation at entry to qualify for this HTS code; non-certified organic products default to 0707.00.40

Ensure temperature-controlled shipping to maintain fresh/chilled state, as warming could reclassify under dried provisions

Confirm entry date falls within Dec 1 to Feb end; off-season imports shift to other subheadings
