Import Tips
• Include processing method (Dutch/alkalized) in descriptions but ensure sugar certs dominate classification docs
• Use FDA prior notice for food imports and reference HTS precisely for CBP automation
• Avoid reclassification by confirming no milk solids exceeding statistical note thresholds
