Import Tips
• Confirm blending status with documentation showing capability for further mixing, as pure products are excluded from this subheading
• Monitor fiscal year quotas under Additional U.S
• Note 3; apply for Secretary of Agriculture approvals if specialty sugar designation sought
• Label accurately for dry weight sugar content; pitfalls include re-export requirements if not used for approved processing
