Import Tips
• Verify organic certification against USDA NOP or equivalent standards listed in General Statistical Note 6 for accurate reporting
• Provide detailed documentation of harvest, processing, and chain-of-custody to prove 'certified organic' status at customs
• Avoid common pitfalls like mixing with non-organic lentils, which could lead to reclassification or penalties
