Import Tips
• Obtain Secretary of Agriculture quota license and certificate of eligibility before entry; calculate raw value using Treasury regulations for fructose-glucose mixes
• Ensure documentation proves it's not retail-packaged and capable of further processing to avoid reclassification
• Monitor annual quotas under note 9 as they may be zero or adjusted
