Import Tips
• Obtain organic certification documentation from USDA-equivalent authority in origin country for FDA entry
• Declare moisture content to distinguish from fresh or frozen; common pitfall is undervaluation based on weight loss
• Ensure no added sulfites if claiming 'no preservatives' to avoid reclassification or penalties
