Import Tips
• Calculate clean yield allowing for 60% vegetable matter deduction but capped at 15% of clean content
• Include commercial invoices specifying non-retail put-up (e.g
• cones over 1kg) to justify classification
• Watch for ash content over 0.5%; test pre-entry to prevent duty adjustments
