Import Tips

• Verify USDA or equivalent organic certification documentation to comply with General Statistical Note 6 for certified organic produce

• Ensure peppers are fresh or chilled and unsuitable for immediate consumption if any provisional preservation is used, avoiding misclassification into heading 0711

• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming pest-free status, as common pitfalls include rejections due to quarantine issues for fresh produce
