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.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	Norway's only accredited organic certifier. The Ø-merket is required on any food sold as 'økologisk' in Norway. Operates to EU 2018/848 equivalence plus Norwegian add-ons.	France-based independent certifier operating in 130+ countries. One of the world's largest organic + cosmetics + textile certifiers. The 'Ecocert' wordmark on a package usually means Ecocert was the accredited body that ran the inspection against the national/EU standard.

Does NOT	Mutual recognition with the US, EU, and Canada applies to specific product categories — check each agreement before importing.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	Norway is outside the EU — the Ø is recognised under EEA equivalence, not direct EU equivalence.	Ecocert is the certifier, not the standard — the actual rules come from whichever organic regulation the product is certified under.
