Does NOT	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.	Imported organic foods must be re-certified under the Chinese standard — overseas certifications alone are not accepted for the 有机 label.	Doesn't certify clinical effectiveness or skin tolerance.	Domestic recognition only — exports use the buyer's national mark (USDA, EU Leaf) under equivalence.
