Import Tips & Compliance

Cross-check supplier's organic certification against approved standards in General Statistical Note 6 to prevent denial

Monitor temperature logs during transit; warming could deem it 'provisionally preserved' under 0711

Avoid bulk packaging that suggests processing; retail-ready packs reinforce fresh classification
