How TWeE grupo Can Assist Spanish Organic Producers

The USDA has introduced a “New Final Rule” for the National Organic Program (NOP), significantly changing the requirements for organic products entering the U.S. market. As of September 19th, 2024, all organic imports must be accompanied by a NOP Import Certificate before they leave the exporting country. This new regulation is designed to improve the traceability of organic products, ensuring greater oversight and reducing the risk of fraud in the organic supply chain.

💡 What Does This Mean for Spanish Organic Producers?

If you are an organic producer in Spain exporting to the United States, this update will impact your current procedures. The NOP Import Certificate is now mandatory for all organic imports, requiring you to have your products declared and certified before shipping. The process involves coordinating with your certifier to issue the import certificate through the USDA Organic Integrity Database (OID), which will then be shared with your U.S. importer or customs broker.

❗ Key Requirements:

• All exporters and importers must be certified organic and listed in the OID.
• The NOP Import Certificate must be issued before your product leaves Spain.
• The U.S. importer must be certified or work with a certified handling agent.
