Import Tips
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'not for retail sale' and exact net weight >2kg per immediate container
• Monitor country-specific TRQ shares (Ireland/UK/NZ allocations) as general quota fills quickly
• Avoid mixing lot sizes; CBP audits container uniformity during sugar quota entries
