Import Tips
• Confirm the product does not contain more than 6% cocoa on a defatted basis, as that would shift it to heading 18.06
• Verify whether it is leavened with yeast and the wheat content to determine if a more specific sibling item applies
• Keep packaging and product photos for CBSA to confirm the rusk-like appearance
