Does NOT	Cosmetics and textiles are covered under separate Korean schemes, not this mark.	Imported organic foods must be re-certified under the Chinese standard — overseas certifications alone are not accepted for the 有机 label.	Provincial sales-only operations are not legally required to carry it (though many do voluntarily).	Domestic-only sales can also use FSSAI's 'Jaivik Bharat' mark — if you see only 'Jaivik Bharat' without 'India Organic', the supply chain may be PGS-India rather than NPOP-accredited.
