• Verify butterfat content is above 5.5% to avoid quantitative restrictions under subheadings like 1806.20.34
• Provide certificate of origin if from quota countries like Ireland to ensure access to allocated quantities
• Label accurately as 'not for retail sale' to prevent misclassification into consumer candy categories
