Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification documentation to match HTS 1206.00.00.65 subheading
• Ensure labeling specifies 'organic' and 'for human consumption' to avoid reclassification to lower-value feed uses
• Inspect for breakage; significant hull damage may shift to shelled category under 1206.00.40
