USDA Agricultural Marketing Service – National Organic Program (NOP) Enforcement Update

September 15, 2024 USDA, National Organic Program

Under Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE), importers of organic products into the United States must be certified under the USDA organic regulations by a USDA-accredited certifier. This includes operations physically located outside of the United States that are acting as the importer of record for such shipments, regardless of any other certifications they hold for other organic activities.
