Import Tips
• Provide organic certificate from accredited body recognized by USDA; foreign organic ≠ automatic US organic
• Segregate organic seeds from conventional during storage/transport to prevent contamination claims
• Test for prohibited pesticide residues; zero tolerance for many synthetics in organic imports
