Import Tips

• Verify entry eligibility under additional U.S. note 1 and obtain quota certificate from U.S

• Customs before shipment

• Provide lab analysis certifying sugar content below 65% and country of origin (e.g

• Ireland) to avoid reclassification

• Monitor annual quota usage (1,700,988 kg for Ireland) as oversubscription leads to higher duties under general provisions
