Import Tips
• Secure organic certificate compliant with NOP standards; include chain-of-custody docs from agave fields
• Test for fructose polarity to substantiate >50% claim; common pitfall is mislabeling as 'inverted'
• Avoid quota issues by confirming not 'blended syrup' under Note 4; declare accurately in entry summary
