Import Tips
• Use bonds or certifications for conditional entries like re-export; violations lead to penalties under note regulations
• Differentiate from retail cubes, which may classify as preparations under 2106 if consumer-packaged
• Consult USTR for country-specific allocations; small producers need minimum quota access rules
