Import Tips
• Verify origin certification under USMCA (general note 15) with a certificate of origin to claim preferential duty-free treatment
• Ensure the product meets 'unfilled' criteria and provide detailed ingredient breakdown to avoid reclassification to filled subheadings
• Monitor annual quantitative limits if applicable, though Mexican products are exempt; declare accurately to prevent delays
