Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the flavor windows are cut-outs, not plastic film covered, as plastic laminations exceeding half the thickness could move the product to Chapter 39
• Ensure the embossing and printing are merely subsidiary to the packaging function to avoid Chapter 49 classification
• Declare the cartons as empty packaging to avoid duties applicable to the chocolate contents
