Import Tips
• Document protein source and gelatin ratio; common error is classifying as sugar confectionery if sugar predominates
• Require allergen declarations for gelatin (potential mammal-derived); ensure no meat byproducts per Chapter exclusions
• Batch testing for dry gelatin content critical to maintain 2106 classification over 1704
