Import Tips
• Provide organic certification from an approved body (see General Statistical Note 6) to avoid misclassification
• Label clearly as 'certified organic' and include country of origin; phytosanitary certificates often required for fresh produce
• Monitor for common pitfalls like improper cooling leading to spoilage claims during customs inspection
