Import Tips

• 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
