• Note 5 Brazil quota; exceeds 80,200 MT shifts to higher duty subheadings

• Provide documentation proving stems are not cut/ground/pulverized; CBP inspections common for refuse classification

• Avoid entries near September 13 quota reset; use Chapter 98 for duty-free samples but exclude from quota subheading
