Import Tips
• Provide USDA or equivalent organic certification per General Statistical Note 6; label as 'certified organic' accurately
• Ensure cold chain integrity to maintain fresh/chilled status; temperature violations can trigger reclassification
• Declare exact varietal name if requested, as sugar snap peas must match Pisum sativum with edible pods
