Import Tips
• Include supplier affidavits attesting to non-retail intent and butterfat percentage to meet note 3 entry requirements
• Label clearly as 'for bakery use only' and test for cocoa absence to avoid Chapter 18 reclassification
• Watch for moisture content affecting dairy solids declaration; pitfalls include incomplete U.S. note documentation
