Import Tips
• Verify polarimeter reading (69°-99.5°) via lab testing before entry to confirm classification and raw value for quota purposes
• Obtain Secretary of Agriculture quota allocation certificate if applicable; track fiscal year limits to avoid over-quota duties
• Declare exact sucrose content and ensure no added flavoring/coloring; common pitfall is mislabeling as refined sugar
