Import Tips
• Declare exact variety and processing level; mismatches lead to audits and potential penalties
• Use chapter 98 provisions for duty-free samples to test quality before full quota shipments
• Ensure bales are not retail-packaged, as 'prepared for ultimate consumer' shifts to higher-duty manufactured categories
