Import Tips
• Verify eligibility under General Note 15 (e.g
• NAFTA/USMCA or other FTAs) with certificates of origin to claim reduced duties
• Provide detailed composition analysis showing cocoa content and bulk packaging to avoid misclassification as retail products
• Check for butterfat content limits if entering under related quantitative restrictions; common pitfall is incorrect container weight declaration
