Import Tips
• Provide USDA or equivalent organic certificate referencing General Statistical Note 6 standards
• Test for pesticide residues; organic claims trigger CBP scrutiny during seasonal high-volume imports
• Use ventilated crates to maintain chill chain; spoilage voids organic status and incurs duties
