Import Tips
• Provide USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification paperwork at entry to qualify for statistical reporting
• Use ventilated containers to maintain organic integrity and prevent mold during sea freight from Philippines or India
• Avoid common pitfall of commingling with conventional coconuts, which invalidates organic status
