Import Tips

• Provide USDA NOP or equivalent certified organic documentation matching General Statistical Note 6 standards to avoid reclassification

• Declare exact processing level (e.g

• pearled) as it may affect duty rates if misclassified as unmilled

• Avoid common pitfalls like missing lot-specific organic certificates, which can lead to detention
