Import Tips

• Verify fructose content via polarimeter testing to confirm 20-50% dry weight range and avoid misclassification under higher fructose subheadings

• Obtain certificates of analysis for sugar polarity and ensure compliance with USDA sugar quota regulations if applicable to raw value equivalents

• Declare in liquid form without added flavors; common pitfall is improper documentation leading to quota TRQ issues
