PEZ Dispenser Refills

PEZ candy refills are small, brick-shaped sugar tablets in fruit flavors, sold in plastic dispensers or refill packs for retail consumption without preparation. They classify under HTS 1704.90.35.50 as other non-cocoa confections or sweetmeats put up for retail sale, distinct from the dispenser toy component. This ensures proper tariff treatment for the candy portion as ready-to-eat sugar sweets.
