Import Tips
• Label as 'raw cane sugar' without additives; CBP scrutiny high for flavoring claims leading to reclassification
• Track aggregate quota (min 1,117,195 MT raw cane sugar annually); excess subject to 9903 safeguard duties
• Use licensed customs broker familiar with Ag Secretary determinations published in Federal Register
