Import Tips
• Provide USDA organic certificate or equivalent; statistical note requires approved standards for organic reporting
• Maintain 32-34°F cold chain; organic raspberries spoil faster and face stricter residue testing
• Separate organic from conventional lots to avoid commingling penalties during customs inspection
