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
