Import Tips
• Document toffee as sugar confection filling to justify 1806.31; avoid claims of 'unfilled' to prevent audits
• Monitor calendar year quotas for cocoa products; Mexico-origin exempt from certain limits
• Use tamper-evident packaging; declare value per kg accurately for ad valorem duties
