Chocolate Peanut Clusters from Germany
Chocolate Peanut Clusters consist of roasted peanuts coated in a sugar-based, chocolate-like coating that contains no actual cocoa. They are packaged for retail sale and are ready for consumption, classifying them as sugar confectionery under tariff item 1704.90.90. The absence of cocoa is key to this classification.
