Import Tips
• Verify cocoa content is zero via lab analysis to avoid reclassification to cocoa-containing headings
• Provide certificate of analysis confirming composition as malt extract to support 'not elsewhere specified' status
• Ensure labeling distinguishes from infant formula preparations to prevent misclassification under 1901.10
