Import Tips
• Verify peanut butter content exceeds mere flavoring to justify 1806.31.00.41; provide lab analysis if audited
• Ensure labeling distinguishes from retail candy to avoid quota restrictions under US Note for low butterfat items
• Declare exact cocoa and peanut percentages on entry docs to prevent misclassification to unfilled bars
