Import Tips

• Verify origin country quotas under U.S

• Note 5(a) as blackfat often comes from Brazil (80,200 MT limit); exceedance shifts to higher duty rates

• Provide certification of non-wrapper content (>35% threshold) and threshed status to avoid reclassification; include lab analysis if disputed

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as stemmed (2401.20); use chapter 98 for duty-free samples
