Import Tips
• Verify eligibility under USDA specialty sugar quotas via certificates from the Secretary of Agriculture
• Provide polarity test results to confirm raw value for quota charging; common pitfall is miscalculating under 96-degree polarization
• Ensure documentation proves it's not for direct consumer retail to avoid reclassification
