Import Tips
• Confirm origin eligibility (e.g
• Ireland up to 1,700,988 kg quota) to avoid denial under aggregate limits
• Label shipments clearly as 'industrial use only' with compositional breakdown to Customs for smooth clearance
• Avoid retail-style packaging like individual wrappers, which could trigger reclassification to candy subheadings
