Import Tips
• Provide spectrographic or HPLC analysis proving sugar dominance to support 1901.20.55.00 classification
• Ensure packaging clearly indicates use for bakers' wares to distinguish from general icings in 2106
• Beware of dairy additions pushing into 1901.10 if over threshold for milk-based preparations
