Bulk Cocoa Nibs Paste
Bulk cocoa nibs paste is produced by grinding cocoa nibs without removing any cocoa butter, resulting in a non-defatted cocoa paste with full cocoa solids and natural fat content. This product falls under tariff item 1803.10.00 as it is a cocoa paste that has not been defatted, suitable for large-scale confectionery production.
1803.10.00Cocoa Liquor for Chocolate Manufacturing
Cocoa liquor, also known as cocoa paste, is made by grinding cocoa beans into a thick liquid that retains both cocoa solids and cocoa butter without any fat removal. This non-defatted cocoa paste is used as a base ingredient in chocolate manufacturing and falls under tariff item 1803.10.00.
1803.10.00Industrial Cocoa Butter Paste Blend
Industrial cocoa butter paste blend is a non-defatted cocoa paste standardized for consistent viscosity in molding applications, retaining natural cocoa butter levels.

1803.10.00Organic Cocoa Paste Non-Defatted
Organic cocoa paste that is non-defatted retains full natural butterfat from certified organic cocoa beans, ground without any defatting process. This pure, undefatted form is ideal for high-end organic chocolate manufacturing and falls under tariff item 1803.10.00.
1803.10.00Premium Single-Origin Cocoa Paste
Premium single-origin cocoa paste is a non-defatted paste made from beans sourced from specific regions, preserving unique flavor profiles and full butterfat content. This pure paste, without defatting or added ingredients, falls under tariff item 1803.10.00 for artisan chocolate makers.

1803.20.00Cocoa Liquor Partly Defatted
Cocoa liquor that has been partially defatted through pressing to reduce butterfat content, resulting in a thick paste used primarily in chocolate manufacturing. This product falls under tariff item 1803.20.00 as it is cocoa paste that is partly defatted, distinct from wholly defatted or non-defatted cocoa paste.
1803.20.00Cocoa Paste 15% Butterfat
Precisely defatted cocoa paste with 15% residual butterfat, tailored for premium chocolate bases. This product is a partly defatted cocoa paste, meeting the description of tariff item 1803.20.00, which covers cocoa paste that is wholly or partly defatted.
1803.20.00Cocoa Press Cake Partly Defatted
Solid residue from cocoa nib pressing where part of the butterfat is extracted, ideal for powder production. Although it is a cake, it is essentially partly defatted cocoa paste before pulverization, and thus falls under tariff item 1803.20.00 as partly defatted cocoa paste.
1803.20.00Defatted Cocoa Cake
A dry, crumbly cake produced by pressing cocoa beans to remove a significant portion of cocoa butter, used for extracting cocoa powder. This product is partly or wholly defatted cocoa paste in cake form, falling under tariff item 1803.20.00 before further processing into powder.
1803.20.00Industrial Defatted Cocoa Paste
Bulk cocoa paste defatted for industrial applications like bakery fillings and chocolate compounds. This product is partly or wholly defatted cocoa paste, falling under tariff item 1803.20.00, and is not a retail confectionery preparation.

Compressed blocks of partly defatted cocoa paste for easy handling in factories. These blocks are a form of partly defatted cocoa paste, falling under tariff item 1803.20.00, as the defatting process removes substantial cocoa butter.
