Import Tips
• Conduct dry weight sugar analysis to confirm compliance with over 65% sugar prohibitions in certain subheadings
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'ready for consumption' status to differentiate from bulk or further-processable goods
• Watch for gelatin sourcing; ensure no animal product restrictions apply alongside sugar quotas
