Import Tips
• Verify the product is pre-baked and frozen, not raw dough, to confirm classification under 1905; raw dough falls under 1905.90.90
• Provide commercial invoice detailing baking status, freezing method, and ingredients to avoid misclassification as fresh goods
• Check for fruit, nut, or chocolate content exceeding thresholds that might shift to confectionery headings
