• Verify sugar content exceeds 65% by dry weight via lab analysis to confirm classification under 2101.12.4800
• Include certificates of analysis for coffee extract basis and sugar percentage to avoid reclassification to 2101.12.4000
• Ensure labeling distinguishes from roasted coffee substitutes to prevent misclassification under 2101.30
