Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct third-party testing for exact dry weight sugar percentage, as variances can lead to duty recalculation or penalties
• Avoid combining with leavening agents, which might reclassify as a baking mix under Chapter 21
• Document industrial end-use to differentiate from retail confections subject to Chapter notes on candy exclusions
