Import Tips
• Verify sugar content exceeds 65% dry weight and qualifies under additional U.S. note 7 to chapter 17 for quota entry; obtain license from USDA FAS
• Provide detailed ingredient breakdown and butterfat analysis lab reports to CBP for classification confirmation
• Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is insufficient dairy solids documentation
