Import Tips
• Verify origin country against US quota limits (e.g
• Turkey not listed, may fall under 'Other'); exceedance triggers higher duties
• Provide certification of threshed/processed state and Oriental/Turkish variety to avoid reclassification
• Ensure documentation excludes Chapter 98 sample exemptions unless qualifying as duty-free samples
