Import Tips

• Verify compliance with additional U.S. note 7 to chapter 17 for quota eligibility and entry provisions before shipment

• Provide lab analysis certificates confirming sugar content exceeds 90% by dry weight and over 65% total sugar to avoid reclassification

• Monitor annual aggregate quotas for high-sugar cocoa products to prevent entry refusals near limits
