Import Tips
• Provide supplier affidavits confirming no cocoa (>40% defatted) or dairy (>5%) to stay in this subheading
• Label age grading clearly (e.g
• '8+ months') to distinguish from infant products during customs review
• Watch for over-fortification claims that might trigger FDA prior notice requirements beyond standard foods
