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
