We believe strongly in the value that small, organic producers and distributors offer US consumers, and we will work with you to ensure the continuity of your organic products in the marketplace.
We have scheduled several enrollment periods to make our process as flexible as possible. Our enrollment periods enable the team to embed compliance into our daily operations and establish the necessary record-keeping for the USDA.
During these enrollment periods, you can register the organic wines/products you intend to import.
You must register wines with a label including the word ORGANIC. This can be any of the following:
“Organic”. “Organic Wine” “Made with Organic Grapes” “Made using Organic practices”
These, and only these are wines in-scope of the USDA’s Strengthening Organic Enforcement Program.
