Import Tips
• Ensure blending records show partial manufacture (e.g
• pressing, initial casing) to avoid reclassification as unmanufactured under higher duties
• Track cumulative entries against country-specific quotas (e.g
• 12,000 MT for Malawi) from Sept 13 to Sept 12 annually
• Exclude Canadian, Israeli, or Mexican origins from quota subheadings per U.S
• Note 5(b); use separate classifications
