Last updated: April 2026 dataSweet biscuits and cookies are among the most actively traded baked-goods categories, with Mexico and Canada together accounting for the largest share of US imports under this heading. The US tariff schedule subdivides the heading by frozen versus non-frozen state and by the presence of peanut products — a distinction that triggers separate lines (1905310021 and 1905310041) due to allergen and agricultural-policy considerations, while non-peanut frozen and non-frozen products fall under 1905310029 and 1905310049 respectively. Italy and the United Kingdom are notable European suppliers, particularly for premium and specialty biscuit lines. FDA allergen labeling rules and FSMA facility registration apply to all imported sweet biscuits; peanut-containing lines may also attract additional scrutiny at entry.

The peanut-specific subdivisions (1905310021 for frozen and 1905310041 for non-frozen) reflect both allergen-tracking policy and agricultural trade considerations tied to peanut import quotas and related programs. Misclassifying a peanut-containing product under a non-peanut line can result in penalties and delays at entry.
Yes — frozen and non-frozen sweet biscuits are classified under different 10-digit HTS lines and may carry different duty rates. Importers should confirm the product's state at time of importation and classify accordingly, as the temperature condition is a binding classification criterion, not merely a logistical detail.
