Import Tips
• Verify sugar content does not exceed 65% dry weight to avoid TRQ restrictions under additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 17
• Provide detailed ingredient lists and polarity tests if sucrose content is questioned during customs examination
• Label products clearly as 'chewing gum' to distinguish from candy under Chapter 17
