Import Tips
• Provide manufacturing process details to affirm gelatin as base, avoiding reclassification as plain sugar confectionery
• Ensure kosher/halal certifications if claimed, as gelatin source (e.g
• bovine/porcine) affects marketability
• Declare exact sugar percentage; exceeding certain thresholds risks scrutiny under sugar import regs
