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
