Import Tips
• Test for cocoa percentage to avoid 1806 reclassification; chapter note strictly limits to under 6% defatted basis
• Provide frozen storage proofs like bill of lading temp logs; CBP often inspects for thawing evidence
• Ensure supplier certs detail peanut sourcing to comply with FDA import alerts on aflatoxins
