Import Tips
• Provide USDA or equivalent organic certification documents at entry to verify 'Certified Organic' status per statistical note
• Include detailed lot-specific certificates of analysis confirming no GMO content and compliance with General Statistical Note 6
• Avoid misclassification as non-organic durum (1001.19.00.50) by ensuring clear labeling; common pitfall is missing chain-of-custody paperwork
