Import Tips
• Verify USMCA origin certification to qualify for 9823.09.01 treatment; standard 1701.12.50 rates apply without proper documentation
• Provide polarization test certificates showing 97-99.5 degrees for subheading 1701.12.50 classification
• Monitor quantitative limits in USMCA notes; excess quantities revert to general duty rates
