Import Tips
• Verify milk solids content via lab analysis to confirm <21% threshold; include certificates of analysis in documentation
• Check U.S
• Note quotas for low-butterfat chocolate crumb if applicable, especially from Ireland or UK
• Label accurately as 'dark chocolate' to avoid misclassification as milk chocolate under higher milk solid codes
