Import Tips
• Verify cocoa solids percentage exceeds 35% for dark chocolate classification and provide lab analysis if requested by CBP
• Ensure proper declaration of nut allergens on labeling to comply with FDA import requirements
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 'chocolate crumb' under quota-limited subheadings like 1806.20.85
