Gluten-Free Gingerbread Bites from Mexico
Gluten-Free Gingerbread Bites are mini gingerbread pieces made with almond or rice flour, ginger, and no wheat gluten. They still qualify as 'gingerbread and the like' under tariff item 1905.20.00 because they are spiced bakers' wares prepared beyond Chapter 11 flours.

Import Tips
• Ensure the product is labeled gluten-free and meets Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) requirements for gluten-free claims
• The use of alternative flours does not affect the tariff classification, but accurate ingredient declarations are essential
• Verify that no meat or fish products are present to stay in Chapter 19
