Import Tips & Compliance

Verify nutritional labeling complies with FDA infant food standards and declare exact sugar content to avoid reclassification under lower sugar subheadings

Provide certificates of analysis confirming no cocoa and milk solids if derived from headings 0401-0404, plus retail packaging proof

Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclaring as infant (under 12 months) formula, which shifts to 1901.10.75.00; ensure age suitability documentation
