Import Tips
• Verify bread contains no prohibited additives or exceeds 6% cocoa to avoid reclassification under heading 1806
• Provide detailed ingredient lists and baking process documentation to confirm it qualifies as 'bread' per Chapter 19 notes
• Ensure proper labeling for retail sale; common pitfall is misclassifying as pastry if filled with fruit or nuts
