Cocoa Press Cake Partly Defatted from Mexico
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.

Import Tips
• Ensure the press cake is not yet pulverized into powder, as cocoa powder falls under heading 1805
• Provide evidence of the defatting process and residual fat content
• Verify that no binder exceeding 3% by weight is added, per section note 1
