Organic Registration Renewals Coming Up!
Elenteny Imports is certified to import organic wine since the 2024 implementation of new USDA Organic Program rules and has imported in excess of 80,000 cases of organic wine & food for our customers. We require that our customers register their SKUs with our team prior to importing to ensure a smooth import process. Registration is for 1 year, and the first wave of registrations are now due for renewal. If you wish to make any changes to your registrations (including removal) from our program, please do so by MARCH 21, 2025. You will be automatically billed for registration renewals.

Tariffs for Canada and Mexico are still on for March 4
Today, President Trump pledged to proceed with 25% tariffs for Canada and Mexico imports. The President also announced an additional levy on the 10% tariff on China, also starting on March 4.
At this stage, it is unclear how and when retaliatory tariffs from Canada and Mexico will continue to impact the Alcohol and Beverage industry. SevenFifty reported on the initial retaliatory impacts once the tariff announcements were set. We urge our customers to join the US Wine Trade Alliance as a collective industry voice pushing back against the broad application of tariffs.
