Import Tips
• Verify sugar content exceeds 65% dry weight with lab analysis to confirm classification under additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 17
• Provide certificates of analysis for dairy components from headings 0401-0404 and ensure no cocoa exceeds 5% on defatted basis
• Watch for TRQ limits on dairy-based preparations; apply for licenses if volume exceeds quota to avoid high over-quota duties
