Import Tips & Compliance

Verify milk solids content via lab analysis to confirm <21% threshold; provide certificates to Customs for classification

Ensure bulk packaging exceeds 2 kg and label as non-retail to avoid quota restrictions under US Note for chocolate crumb

Include origin documentation, as Mexican products are excluded from quantitative limits but must not mimic retail confections
