Import Tips
• Test cocoa content on totally defatted basis to confirm under 40%; lab certificates prevent reclassification
• Label as 'pudding mix for immediate consumption' to distinguish from bulk flours in chapter 11
• Check for hidden dairy; if milk-based, ensure compliance with 1901 dairy subheading documentation
