Import Tips
• Verify organic certification with USDA NOP documentation and ensure chain-of-custody records from farm to import
• Confirm entry timing outside July 1-Dec 31 quota period to avoid reclassification to lower-rate statistical suffixes
• Inspect for phytosanitary certificates proving freedom from pests like codling moth, common for pear imports
