Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify USDA NOP organic certification and obtain Certificate of Analysis confirming polarization and organic status to avoid reclassification
• Track quota allocations under Additional U.S
• Note 3; specialty sugars may have reserved quantities—apply for licenses if needed
• Declare in raw value terms per Treasury regulations; common pitfall is misstating polarity leading to duty adjustments
