Import Tips

• Verify USDA organic certification documentation to qualify for this subheading and avoid reclassification to non-organic maple syrup

• Check current USDA sugar import quotas as maple syrup may be subject to TRQ limitations; obtain licenses if required for quota entry

• Provide lab analysis confirming no added flavoring or coloring and purity as maple sap-derived to prevent misclassification
