Import Tips
• Include certificates of analysis proving sugar from cane/beets and gelatin as primary ingredient to prevent shifts to sugar headings
• Comply with child nutrition labeling if marketed to kids; declare net weight and serving sizes accurately
• Watch for perishability—use proper temperature-controlled shipping to avoid spoilage claims at entry
