Import Tips
• Include detailed ingredient breakdown in entry docs to distinguish from sugar-heavy confections in 1806.10
• Avoid retail-style packaging to prevent reclassification; use industrial bulk drums or bags
• Check for butterfat percentage compliance to steer clear of restricted low-fat crumb quotas
