Import Tips
• Verify preparation method exceeds chapter 11 (e.g
• roasting/swelling plus binding) to avoid reclassification to uncooked cereals
• Include lab analysis confirming no flour/groats base and frozen state upon import; provide processing records
• Watch for cocoa content over 6% which shifts to heading 1806; label accurately for FDA compliance
