HTS CHAPTER

Chapter 18: Cocoa and Cocoa Preparations

Chapter 18 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) focuses on cocoa and cocoa preparations, which encompass a variety of products derived from cocoa beans. This chapter includes categories such as cocoa powder, cocoa butter, cocoa paste, and chocolate in various forms, including milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Common example products imported under this chapter include unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate bars, and cocoa nibs. Industries that typically import these goods include confectionery, baked goods, and beverage manufacturers, all of which rely on high-quality cocoa for their products. Importers should be aware of regulatory considerations, such as compliance with food safety standards set by the FDA and potential tariffs imposed on cocoa products. Additionally, labeling requirements and allergen declarations are crucial for ensuring compliance and consumer safety. Understanding the nuances of HTS Chapter 18 can help importers navigate the complexities of international trade and leverage cocoa's global demand effectively.
