New USDA organic protocols require importers to become certified organic. As an importer myself, I've been working with Organic certifiers to navigate the new rules. But I have to say, they are making us jump through some significant hoops - and charging us - when all we are doing is importing and selling goods already in packaging. Has anyone else gone through this process? I would love to hear from those who have any advice or positive thoughts. Right now, it's making me a little mental. Let's connect and share our experiences. #USDA #organic #importing #certification

The recent Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) regulations going into effect has created some new and ongoing impacts for the tea industry. 1. Reported organic tea import volumes have increased. This is likely due to requirements that organic imports need an import certificate and are being recorded under the appropriate HS codes. 2. Submitting requests for organic import certificates (NOPICs) has resulted in an additional administrative/paperwork process for the exporter, certifier at origin, and the USDA NOP. This had the potential to create hiccups and potential delays as users became familiar with the system and its requirements. https://lnkd.in/e_PHCU8s
