Waffles and Wafers imports of $73.0M in July 2026 ran 12% above the year-to-date monthly average of $64.9M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataWaffles and wafers span a wide commercial range — from retail-ready Belgian-style waffles to thin wafer sheets used in confectionery manufacturing — and the US tariff schedule mirrors this by splitting the heading across frozen/non-frozen and peanut/non-peanut lines (1905320021, 1905320029, 1905320041, 1905320049). Canada is the leading supplier, with Italy and Belgium prominent sources for confectionery-grade wafer products. The peanut-content distinction carries the same classification and allergen-compliance weight here as in the sweet biscuits heading, making ingredient verification a critical pre-shipment step. FDA's FSMA facility registration and labeling requirements apply to all imported wafer and waffle products.

Both finished retail waffles and industrial wafer sheets used as confectionery components fall under heading 190532 provided they meet the basic product description. However, if a wafer sheet is so heavily coated or filled with chocolate that it takes on the character of a chocolate confection, reclassification under Chapter 18 or heading 1806 may be warranted. A licensed customs broker should review the product's composition and end-use before filing.
Belgium has a long-established industrial wafer and waffle manufacturing sector supplying both retail and food-service channels globally. Belgian-origin wafer products — particularly thin wafer sheets for chocolate and ice cream applications — are a recognized specialty, and Belgium ranks among the top European sources for this heading in US import data.
