Import Tips
• Confirm gelatin and sugar ratios to ensure it remains sugar confectionery, not a Chapter 21 preparation
• Include certificates of analysis for sugar polarity to differentiate from raw cane sugar quotas
• Package for immediate retail to bypass bulk syrup or high-sugar processing exclusions in U.S. notes
