Import Tips
• Submit manufacturer's declaration of cocoa solids percentage with entry; retain for CBP audit trail
• Track USMCA quota utilization under note 10(b)(2); monitor annual limits to avoid over-quota higher duties
• Ensure packaging labeling matches HTS description; bulk industrial packaging qualifies differently from retail
