Unsweetened cocoa powder belongs to heading 1805. Once sugar, milk solids, or other ingredients are added, the product typically moves to heading 1806 as a food preparation containing cocoa. The presence and proportion of added ingredients — particularly sugar — are the key factors, and the heading notes should be consulted for borderline mixtures.
Raw cocoa beans are subject to FDA prior notice requirements as an imported food. Depending on origin, phytosanitary certificates may also be required by USDA APHIS. Importers should verify that the exporting country's food-safety system is recognized by FDA and that the shipment is accompanied by complete entry documentation, including country of origin and establishment details.
