Import Tips
• Provide USDA-approved organic certificate (per GS Note 6) and transaction records to claim organic status without reclassification
• Label clearly as 'organic' only if certified; mislabeling leads to FDA detention and duty reassessment
• Source from approved organic greenhouses to avoid pesticide residue violations triggering APHIS fumigation orders
