Import Tips

• Verify milk solids content via lab analysis (under 21%) and ensure documentation certifies it's not retail confectionery to avoid reclassification

• Check against US aggregate quotas for low-butterfat chocolate crumb; provide country-of-origin proof (e.g

• non-Mexico) for quota access

• Use bulk packaging >2kg and include compositional breakdown to confirm 'wholly ground cocoa beans' status; watch for emulsifier declarations
