Import Tips & Compliance
• Document roasting temperature/process to confirm no shell removal, preserving 1801 classification
• Avoid retail packaging; bulk imports stay under 1801, while candy-packaged nibs risk 1806 reclassification
• Monitor EU Deforestation Regulation equivalents for US imports to ensure supply chain traceability
