Import Tips
• Ensure product is solid form only; liquid equivalents reclassify—test for anhedral crystals visible under microscope
• Check USTR modifications to country allocations; Thailand may have reserved specialty sugar quotas
• Bond entries if polarity pending final lab determination; adjustments apply to current or next quota period
