Import Tips

• Verify sugar content exceeds 10% by dry weight and check against Chapter 17 quotas for sugar-containing articles to avoid over-quota duties

• Provide lab analysis confirming nuts are candied (sugar-coated) rather than chocolate-covered to prevent misclassification

• Label products clearly as 'candied nuts' with ingredient lists; common pitfall is reclassification if packaged with non-confectionery items
