Chocolate & Cocoa Preparations in Bulk Form (Over 2 kg)

Bulk chocolate and cocoa-based food preparations — shipped in bars, blocks, slabs, or other large-format containers exceeding 2 kg — serve as industrial inputs for confectionery manufacturers, bakeries, and food processors. The heading 180620 tariff schedule is among the most granular in Chapter 18, with 10-digit lines such as 1806202010, 1806202090, 1806202400, 1806202600, 1806202800, 1806203600, 1806203800, 1806205000, 1806206000, 1806207300, 1806207800, 1806208300, 1806208900, 1806209000, 1806209400, 1806209500, 1806209800, and 1806209900 differentiating products by butterfat content, milk-solid levels, and sugar percentage — each threshold potentially triggering different duty rates or TRQ treatment. Canada and Belgium are the leading suppliers, with Mexico and Ireland also significant. FDA admissibility review applies to all food preparations at entry.
