Import Tips & Compliance

Provide organic certifier's transaction certificate; lack thereof defaults to higher non-organic duty rates

Ensure produce remains unsuitable for immediate consumption if any minimal preservation used, or risk Chapter 71 reclass

Label shipments clearly as 'grey squash' to distinguish from other squash; CBP may require photos or samples for verification
