Import Tips
• Verify compliance with U.S. note 8 to chapter 17 for sugar content and entry provisions; obtain prior approval from U.S
• Customs if required
• Include detailed ingredient labeling and nutritional facts on packaging to meet FDA import standards for infant/toddler foods
• Avoid misclassification by confirming cocoa content is under 40% and it's not solely dairy-based, which could shift to other subheadings
