What it means	Japan's national organic standard under the Japanese Agricultural Standard system. The mark must appear on any food sold as 'organic' (有機 or オーガニック) in Japan.	The federal Canadian organic standard, mandatory on any agricultural product sold across provincial borders or imported as 'organic'.	National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia. One of seven Australian Department of Agriculture-approved certifiers. IFOAM-accredited; certifies organic and biodynamic produce.	The UK's largest organic certifier. Standards are stricter than the UK government's baseline (which still mirrors EU 2018/848 post-Brexit). Recognised by the EU and USA under equivalence.

Does NOT	Mutual recognition with the US, EU, and Canada applies to specific product categories — check each agreement before importing.	Provincial sales-only operations are not legally required to carry it (though many do voluntarily).	Australia has multiple competing organic certifiers — NASAA is one of seven, not the dominant national mark (that's ACO).	Logo is trademarked — not a free-licence mark.
