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
