Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify USDA NOP certification documentation accompanies shipment to prove 'certified organic' status per General Statistical Note 6
• Inspect for freshness and chill chain integrity to avoid reclassification under heading 0711 for provisionally preserved vegetables
• Declare exact variety as 'grey squash' on entry docs; misdescription as standard zucchini risks audit or duty adjustment
