Import Tips
• Submit polarity tests for raw value determination; adjustments for preliminary vs. final values can affect quota charges
• Avoid common pitfall of retail labeling, which triggers exclusions and potential duty increases under other provisions
• Secure USTR allocations if from quota countries; maintain records for polyhydric alcohol or re-export end-uses if applicable
