Import Tips
• Verify sugar content does not exceed limits in Additional U.S
• Note 3 to avoid quota restrictions on high-sugar articles
• Provide detailed ingredient lists and polarity tests if required to confirm classification outside raw sugar headings
• Label products clearly for retail sale to prevent reclassification as bulk ingredients under blended syrups notes
