Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the syrup's basis is coffee extracts (>50% by weight) via lab analysis to confirm 2101 classification over 2106

Provide detailed ingredient breakdowns and production certificates to avoid reclassification as general food prep under 2106.90

Avoid mislabeling as pure flavor syrups (Ch17); common pitfall leading to duties disputes
