Import Tips
• Verify USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification documentation to match HTS statistical requirements; lack of certification may reclassify to non-organic codes
• Maintain cold chain integrity with temperature logs (typically 7-10°C) to prevent spoilage and avoid rejection at entry
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like tomato leafminer, common for Capsicum imports
