Import Tips
• Verify milk solids content exceeds 10% by weight via lab analysis to confirm HTS 1901.90.62.00; include certificates of analysis in documentation
• Ensure no cocoa content over limits; declare as non-retail if shipped in bulk to avoid Chapter 21 prepared foods
• Comply with FDA prior notice and labeling for dairy allergens; common pitfall is under-declaring milk solids leading to reclassification
