Import Tips
• Verify the product qualifies under the 40,000 metric ton annual quota; exceedance shifts to higher duty subheadings
• Provide lab analysis confirming cane/beet sugar content and Brix value if disputed during inspection
• Label containers clearly with net weight, ingredients, and country of origin to avoid misclassification as non-quota goods
