Import Tips

Obtain USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification and ensure Certificate of Eligibility for quota entry under note 5

Provide polarimeter test results confirming raw sugar status (under 99.5° sucrose); common pitfall is misclassifying refined sugar

Declare raw value per Treasury regulations using polarization formula; bonds may be required for quota adjustments
