Importers should note that the organic/non-organic distinction at the 10-digit level applies equally to all three plant types covered by this heading.
To classify under the organic line (0709700010), importers must be able to demonstrate that the product is certified organic under a recognized certification program. CBP may request the organic certificate issued by an accredited certifying agent. Consult a licensed customs broker for current documentation requirements, as admissibility and labeling rules for organic produce involve both CBP and USDA oversight.
