Import Tips
• Verify butterfat content exceeds 25% by lab analysis to qualify under this subheading and U.S. note 3 entry provisions
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming no cocoa or less than 40% on defatted basis, plus dairy origin documentation
• Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is insufficient proof of commercial bakery use
