Import Tips
• Enter only through designated quota ports and track country-specific allocations (e.g
• UK 421k kg limit)
• Include commercial invoice detailing sugar percentage calculated on dry weight basis per HTS statistical notes
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling butterfat content, which could shift to restricted subheadings like 1806.20
