H.R. 9423 — Organic Imports Verification Act of 2026

This section defines terms for the Act, including covered organic feedstuff as any organic feedstuff shipped in bulk with a national organic program import certificate; shipped in bulk as loose shipment in a ship hold, railcar, container, or super sack, excluding packaged goods; and organic as organically produced under the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990.

This section requires the Secretary to submit a report to Congress, within 180 days of enactment and annually thereafter, on residue testing conducted for covered organic feedstuffs and for bulk imported organic feedstuffs accompanied by a national organic program import certificate. Each report must detail testing frequency, methods, results, analytical standards, and any resulting actions.

This section requires the Secretary of Agriculture, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the organic agricultural product imports interagency working group, to develop and update risk-based protocols for selecting imported organic feedstuffs and setting annual residue testing parameters. It directs the Secretary to maintain a confidential list of covered feedstuffs, conduct annual testing on each, and exclude any shipment showing prohibited substances above permitted levels from organic sale.
