Import Tips
• Submit polarity and solids analysis reports; Treasury raw value testing determines quota eligibility
• Ensure no added flavoring/coloring to stay in 1702; document hydrolysis process for CBP review
• Track fiscal year quotas (e.g
• min 22,000 MT for syrups); late entries may roll to next period with approval
