Import Tips

• Verify sugar content exceeds 65% dry weight with lab analysis to meet additional U.S. note 2; non-compliance shifts to higher duty subheadings

• Obtain quota allocation under U.S. note 7 to chapter 17 prior to entry; track annual limits to avoid over-quota surcharges

• Provide commercial invoices specifying bulk packaging over 2kg and non-retail use to prevent misclassification as consumer candy
