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
