Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed composition breakdown showing cocoa base and sugar dominance for note 8 entry
• Avoid retail labeling/packaging; bulk drums or bags prevent misclassification as 1806.90 consumer goods
• Consult quota balance before entry—note 8 competes with 1806.20.34/85 limits
