Import Tips

• Verify sugar content via lab analysis to confirm over 90% dry weight and compliance with chapter 17 note 2 to avoid reclassification

• Provide certificates of analysis for cocoa and sugar composition; ensure no butterfat exceeds limits in US notes for quota eligibility

• Label as 'not for retail candy consumption' to distinguish from heading 1806 sugar confectionery and prevent misclassification
