Import Tips

Ensure entry documentation references U.S. note 8 to chapter 17 and includes lab analysis for sugar content to prevent duty reassessment

Comply with Child Nutrition Labeling requirements; missing labels can lead to FDA holds at entry

Test for milk solids content if dairy-added, as high levels might trigger reclassification to infant subheadings
