Rye Bread Loaf from Mexico
Dense loaf primarily from rye flour, baked with minimal sweeteners, offering a tangy flavor typical of European styles. It is bread under HTS 1905.90.10.70, a finished product from Chapter 11 cereal flours, excluding those with cocoa or confectionery. This covers unsweetened bakers' wares imported whole.

Import Tips
• Label rye content precisely; blends over certain thresholds may trigger different grain tariffs
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying seeded rye as 'containing nuts'—seeds are not confectionery
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'bread, not for retail as pastry' to prevent subheading shifts
