Import Tips
• Secure Norway-specific license under Additional U.S
• Note 25; monitor 6,883,000 kg quota to time shipments appropriately
• Include photos or certificates proving eye formation, preventing shift to non-quota subheadings
• Avoid common error of including rinds in net weight; U.S. notes disallow inedible coverings
