Import Tips

• Verify sugar content via lab analysis to confirm <65% by weight, as exceeding this shifts to 1806.10.25

• Provide certificate of analysis showing cocoa powder base and sweetening matter to avoid misclassification as plain cocoa (1806.10.10)

• Ensure labeling complies with FDA food standards; common pitfall is incorrect declaration of milk solids triggering 'kg cmsc' scrutiny
