Import Tips
• Confirm that the stabilizers do not push the product into another heading, such as food preparations of chapter 19, which would change the tariff classification
• Maintain detailed product specifications, including butterfat content and ingredient list, to justify classification under 1806.20.90 if audited by CBSA
• Consider whether the granules could be classified as cocoa powder if they are finely ground, which would fall under a different tariff item
