Import Tips

Verify organic certification from approved bodies (e.g

USDA NOP) with certificates matching General Statistical Note 6 standards

Provide detailed milling process documentation to confirm semi-milled or wholly milled status, avoiding misclassification as unmilled paddy rice

Watch for common pitfalls like contamination risks during shipping; use sealed, food-grade packaging to maintain organic integrity
