Import Tips

• Verify milk solids and butterfat percentages via lab analysis to confirm classification under 1806.90.18.00 and avoid misclassification into higher-duty retail categories

• Provide certificates of analysis for cocoa content and milk solids; ensure documentation excludes retail candy intent

• Watch for quantitative limits on low-butterfat chocolate crumb if product nears 5.5% threshold; Mexico-origin exempt
