Import Tips
• Verify organic certification against General Statistical Note 6 standards and include certificate of analysis for customs clearance
• Ensure accurate net weight declaration including immediate container to confirm under 18 kg threshold; common pitfall is miscalculating total weight
• Label with country of origin, production date, and 'extra virgin' grade per FDA rules to avoid reclassification or detention
