Import Tips
• Declare exact quantities and sizes on commercial invoices for accurate duty assessment
• Ensure supplier provides origin certificates for FTAs like USMCA if casein sourced from qualifying countries
• Avoid declaring as 'parts' generically; specify 'buttons of casein' to match subheading
