Import Tips
• Verify the mix contains no cocoa or less than 40% on a defatted basis and is not retail-packed to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab analysis certificates confirming composition, as dairy content from headings 0401-0404 must be minimal if present
• Ensure labeling distinguishes it from retail consumer products to prevent shifts to higher-duty subheadings
