Organic Importer of Record Services
Your U.S. Certified Organic Importer/Compliance Partner for Bringing Certified Organic Products to the US Market.
Your existing organic certification may provide a pathway to the U.S. market, but eligibility and requirements can vary depending on the country of origin organic equivalency arrangement. As a certified organic importer, Nature’s SunGrown Foods helps international exporters navigate U.S. organic import requirements and coordinate the documentation needed to support compliant market entry.
For all organic shipments to the United States, SOE requires both the U.S importer and the foreign exporter to be certified. Certification is required regardless of the product packaging.
- If you are the exporter or importer of record for shipments into the United States, you require certification.
- If your customer exports to the United States, your customer requires certification.
- If you receive ingredients that were imported into the United States, your ingredient importer requires certification.
