Import Tips
• 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
