Import Tips
• Verify no added sugar via laboratory analysis to maintain 0402.91 classification; sugar presence shifts to 0402.99
• Check calendar year quota status through USDA; over-quota rates significantly higher
• Ensure bulk packaging documentation distinguishes from retail airtight containers under 0402.91.10/30
