Import Tips

• Verify sugar content and ensure no added flavors or colors to avoid reclassification under flavored syrups in Chapter 21

• Obtain Certificate of Origin for potential preferential treatment under USMCA if from Canada; check current maple syrup quotas

• Test for Brix density (typically 66%+ solids) and provide lab analysis to confirm it's pure maple syrup, avoiding common pitfalls with adulterated products
