Import Tips
• Track individual country quotas (12,000 MT for both Zimbabwe and Malawi) to avoid over-import penalties
• Label bales clearly indicating mixed origins to prevent reclassification during inspection
• Exclude any Canadian, Israeli, or Mexican content as they are exempt from these quotas per U.S
