Import Tips
• Verify USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification documentation at entry to qualify for this tariff line
• Confirm import occurs between April 15 and July 31 to avoid reclassification to non-quota celery codes
• Ensure celery remains fresh/chilled and unprocessed to prevent shifting to Chapter 07 heading 0711 for preserved vegetables
