Unlocking the U.S. Market: Streamlining Organic Imports
December 8, 2025

This is a COTA member's only event. Please contact communications@canada-organic.ca for the password to access this webinar.

Moving organic products into the United States has never been more complex, or more critical for Canadian brands aiming to maintain market or looking to scale. The NOP's Strengthened Organic Enforcement (SOE), the removal of the de minimus rule, tighter scrutiny at ports, and rising documentation requirements mean that even experienced exporters are seeing new risks, delays, and costs. Box 7 Imports was created to solve exactly these problems.

In this session, Joe Dickson and John Foster — Co-CEOs of Box 7 Imports and longtime leaders in the global organic community — will walk through how Canadian exporters can streamline U.S. organic importation, protect certification status, and avoid the most common compliance pitfalls under the USDA National Organic Program. They’ll explain how Box 7’s Certified Importer model removes uncertainty at the border by taking direct responsibility for organic compliance, completing mandatory NOP Import Certificates, managing supply-chain documentation, and ensuring every shipment meets U.S. regulatory requirements.

Participants will come away with a clear understanding of the U.S. organic import landscape, what’s changed under SOE, and how working with a certified importer can reduce friction, risk, and costs for Canadian brands entering the U.S. market.

Soil, Living Systems, and the Future of Flourishing
December 4 - 4, 2025
Virtual
Register now

In celebration of World Soil Day (December 5) — a global day to recognize the vital role of healthy soil in sustaining life, food security, and ecosystems — this talk explores soil as a dynamic, adaptive living system: a microcosm of the larger ecosystems we depend on. We’ll examine how modern farming practices lag behind our growing understanding of cooperative, interconnected soil ecologies, and how organic, systems-based approaches can help realign agriculture with the living world beneath our feet.
