Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide official organic certification documents (e.g
• USDA NOP or EU equivalent) matching General Statistical Note 6 standards to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact moisture content and ensure lentils are fully dried (not provisionally preserved) to stay under heading 0713, not 0711
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'split' if whole; verify splitting status for precise subheading
