Import Tips
• Exclude from quota if product of Canada/Israel/Mexico or chapter 98 samples for duty-free entry
• Conduct moisture content tests; excessive drying may imply 'threshed' processing, risking reclassification
• Use bills of lading specifying 'industrial use only' to prevent retail misinterpretation
