Import Tips
• Verify certification from approved organic standards per General Statistical Note 6 and ensure entry during specified periods to qualify; provide phytosanitary certificates proving greenhouse origin and freedom from pests
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as field-grown, which shifts to non-greenhouse subheadings
