Import Tips
• Include certificate of origin and variety analysis to prove Burley for quota eligibility; U.S
• Note 5 excludes Canada/Mexico
• Avoid packaging resembling retail sale—bulk only to stay out of 'identical form and package' definition
• Pre-register quota usage with CBP to prevent entry refusals near annual limits
