Import Tips
• Provide supplier affidavits confirming flavoring addition post-crystallization to support classification
• Monitor for molasses residues; excess may trigger reclassification to 1701.13 if resembling raw sugar
• Label packages clearly with flavor content to meet FDA import requirements alongside CBP duties
