Import Tips
• Verify organic certification matches approved standards in General Statistical Note 6; provide USDA or equivalent documentation
• Include phytosanitary certificate confirming no pests like barberry rust; common pitfall is inadequate fumigation proof
• Declare exact moisture content to avoid reclassification as provisionally preserved under heading 0812
