Chewy gummy candies made from gelatin base, fruit-flavored, and coated in fine cane sugar crystals for texture. Falls under HTS 2106.90.58.70 because it's a gelatin-centric food prep with cane/beet sugar, not purely candy. Common in bulk bags for parties.

Import Tips
• Lab test for gelatin-to-sugar ratio to support classification; customs may challenge if appears as candy
• Adhere to color additive regs—natural vs artificial dyes must be declared
• Bulk imports require phytosanitary certs if fruit flavors imply natural sourcing
