Import Tips
• Include manufacturer's declaration specifying industrial end-use to confirm exclusion from retail confection
• Track annual quotas (e.g
• 1.7M kg for Ireland) and enter early in calendar year to secure lower rates
• Label clearly as 'not for retail sale' to prevent misclassification pitfalls
