Import Tips
• Verify organic certification from approved bodies (per General Statistical Note 6) with documentation like USDA NOP certificate to avoid reclassification
• Ensure product arrives fresh/chilled, not preserved, as provisional preservation shifts to heading 0711
• Label clearly as 'certified organic spaghetti squash' to match statistical reporting; inspect for damage to prevent quarantine issues
