The Soil Association are prepared to certify produce from other 
countries on the basis of comparison of the relevant local standards 
with their own, supplemented by local visits/discussions if necessary. 
To my knowledge they certify Organic Honey from New Zealand, Argentina, 
Mexico, and possibly some African countries. I don't know of any US 
honey being approved, possibly because of the ill-defined nature of 
"organic" in the US which is apparent from these discussions. You need 
to remember that the use of the word "Organic" applied to food in the EU 
is illegal unless it has been certified by a recognised body.
