Import Tips
• Provide lab certification of enzymatic isomerization process and fructose percentage to Customs for accurate subheading placement
• Monitor for blended syrup prohibitions under Additional U.S
• Note 4; ensure not mixed for further processing in consumer-ready form
• Bulk shipments require proper tank manifests; pitfall is contamination claims affecting dry weight fructose calculations
