Import Tips
• Verify cows' milk solids content (kg cmsc) via lab analysis to confirm classification under additional U.S. note 1 to Chapter 4
• Provide certificates of analysis for cocoa and dairy composition to avoid misclassification as pure dairy under Chapter 4
• Watch for quantitative limits on low-fat chocolate crumb; ensure documentation distinguishes retail candy exclusions
