Import Tips
• Provide chain-of-custody records tracing organic certification from farm to port to satisfy CBP organic verification
• Use refrigerated containers to maintain freshness; temperature deviations often cause spoilage claims during inspection
• Label shipments clearly as 'certified organic' with certifying body details to prevent reclassification disputes
