Import Tips

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
