Zwieback Rusks from Canada
Zwieback rusks are twice-baked, dry, crispy biscuits traditionally made from wheat flour, sugar, and eggs, often flavored with vanilla or anise. They fall under HTS 1905.40.00.00 as classic rusks, which are specifically toasted or baked products designed for dunking in beverages. This classification covers these bakers' wares due to their double-baking process resulting in a hard, toasted texture.
