Import Tips
• Obtain organic certification documentation compliant with USDA NOP standards per General Statistical Note 6 to avoid reclassification
• Ensure phytosanitary certificates confirm freedom from pests like oat crown rust, common in oat shipments
• Declare exact processing level (hulled vs. rolled) to prevent misclassification as Chapter 11 products
