• Include USDA-equivalent organic certificate; verify against approved standards in General Statistical Note 6
• Ensure no commingling with conventional beans during transport to maintain organic integrity for customs
• Declare as 'organic pinto beans' explicitly; pitfall is generic 'beans' declaration triggering reclassification
