International Trade Policies: United Kingdom

Last updated – April 2025

The United States (U.S.) has an equivalence arrangement with the United Kingdom (UK), which includes Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) and Northern Ireland. The equivalence arrangement grants USDA certified organic products access to the UK’s market and grants UK certified organic products access to the U.S. market. This means that organic products certified to either the USDA or UK organic standards may be labeled and sold as organic in both countries, as long as the products meet the terms of the arrangement.
