Import Tips

Verify USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification documentation to match HTS 1005.90.20.15 requirements; lack of certification shifts to non-organic subheadings

Include detailed lot-specific certificates of analysis confirming no GMO content and organic compliance during customs entry

Avoid common pitfalls like contamination risks during storage—use separate facilities to prevent reclassification as conventional corn
