Import Tips
• Obtain license from USDA confirming entry pursuant to additional U.S. note 5 quota allocations before shipment
• Provide polarimeter test certification showing sucrose ≥99.5° to verify raw sugar status and avoid reclassification
• Monitor fiscal year quotas via Federal Register notices; excess entries may face high over-quota duties
