Import Tips
• Document flat weights excluding plastic (net ≤0.91kg) and processing contract to prove 'for processing' intent per statistical note
• Confirm entry timing; summer imports qualify for this rate, avoiding reclassification
• Watch for contamination with fresh-market lots; separate bulk processing shipments to prevent duty disputes
