Expert Organic Import Compliance Management
Operating as a certified organic handler under USDA NOP regulations requires extensive expertise in organic supply chain integrity.
Our team understands that organic products must maintain their certification status throughout complex international shipping routes, requiring specialised knowledge of contamination prevention, proper storage protocols, and documentation requirements that go far beyond standard import procedures.
The stakes for organic import compliance are significant—violations of USDA NOP requirements can result in civil penalties of up to $22,974 per violation for knowingly mislabelling or selling non-organic products as organic (7 CFR 3. 91), product detention at ports, and permanent damage to organic certification status.
We prevent these costly outcomes by maintaining rigorous organic chain of custody documentation and coordinating with all certified organic operations in your supply chain, supporting compliance with both USDA regulations and Amazon’s organic product policies.

What Is US Organic IOR Service?
A US Organic IOR (Importer of Record) service provides legal representation for international companies importing organic products to the United States whilst maintaining USDA National Organic Program compliance.
Unlike standard IOR services, organic IOR requires USDA certified organic handler status and deep expertise in organic supply chain integrity requirements under 7 CFR Part 205. The Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and subsequent USDA NOP regulations require that all organic products maintain their certification status throughout international supply chains.
This means every entity handling organic products—including importers—must either hold organic certification or work through certified organic handlers. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, product detention, and loss of organic certification status. Before engaging organic IOR services:
- Verify your suppliers hold current USDA organic certification
- Confirm organic certificates cover your specific products
- Ensure all handling operations in supply chain are certified
- Understand Amazon organic product listing requirements
- Review organic import certificate filing deadlines
Our organic IOR process:
- Verify organic certification status throughout supply chain
- Establish organic chain of custody documentation
- Coordinate certified organic handling during import
- File organic import certificates with USDA
- Maintain organic integrity for Amazon FBA compliance
We maintain active USDA organic certification, ensuring legal authority to handle your organic imports. Our certified status reduces compliance risks that uncertified importers create. Specialised knowledge of Amazon’s organic product requirements ensures your organic FBA imports meet platform standards. We prevent costly listing suspensions and compliance issues.
Our rigorous compliance procedures prevent organic violations that can carry civil penalties of up to $22,974 per violation for knowingly mislabelling or selling non-organic products as organic (7 CFR 3. 91). We protect your organic certification status and market access.
Our USDA certified organic handler team provides expert organic IOR services that protect your certification status and prevent costly violations. Contact us today for a comprehensive organic import compliance assessment.
