Import Tips & Compliance
• Label shipments clearly as 'Maryland type, not stemmed' to facilitate CBP verification against hierarchy
• Monitor annual quotas (e.g
• 10,750 MT aggregate); excess may face higher rates or denial
• Test for moisture content; excessive processing could reclassify as threshed under 2401.20
