Import Tips

Provide lab analysis confirming praline filling qualifies as 'other' filling, not whole nuts, to avoid reclassification

Check against butterfat quotas if applicable; use HTS lookup for origin-specific rates from EU countries

Package in consumer units under 2kg/100g; bulk shipments risk shifting to parts/components classification
