Import Tips

• Ensure the product is not classified as a preparation of heading 18.03 (cocoa paste), which would change the tariff classification

• Declare the butterfat and cocoa content to the CBSA to support the classification

• Verify whether the product requires a Safe Food for Canadians Act licence for import
