Import Tips
• Provide organic certifier documentation (e.g
• EU Organic or equivalent) and lab tests for sucrose content to confirm specialty status
• Ensure entry aligns with fiscal year quotas; organic specialty sugars may qualify for reserved allocations per USTR
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests further processing, as it could trigger reclassification to syrups or blends
