Import Tips

• Verify origin country eligibility under Additional U.S

• Note 5 quotas (e.g

• Brazil, Zimbabwe) and track aggregate annual limits to avoid over-quota duties

• Provide documentation proving export before September 13, 1995, if claiming special grandfathered treatment; exclude Canada, Israel, Mexico products

• Label as 'for pipe use' to avoid misclassification; common pitfall is exceeding quota without proper USTR approval
