Importing organic products to the U.S. from Canada

The U.S.–Canada equivalency arrangement allows Canada Organic Regime (COR) certified products to be imported into the U.S.

Are there requirements for imported COR certified products to the U.S.?

• COR organic products exported to the U.S. must be accompanied by an organic certificate issued by a COR-accredited certifying agent recognized under the terms of the U.S. – Canada Equivalency Arrangement. The organic certificate issued by the COR certifying agent must include the following statement: “Certified in compliance with the terms of the U.S. – Canada Organic Equivalency Arrangement.”
• All products must be accompanied by an NOP Import Certificate, issued by the COR accredited certification agency.
