Heading 1806 — Chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa
Chapter 18: Cocoa and cocoa preparations
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 180632 when importing or exporting chocolate bars that weigh 2 kilograms or less and are not filled. For example, a shipment of plain dark chocolate bars packaged in boxes for retail sale falls under this code.
This code specifically covers chocolate products in block, slab, or bar form, distinguishing them from filled chocolates classified under different HS codes. If your product contains fillings like nuts or cream, you’ll need to look at other classifications.
When considering similar products, note that HS-6 180631 applies to chocolate bars that are filled, while HS-6 180634 covers chocolate products weighing more than 2 kilograms. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper classification.
Ensure that your chocolate bars are packaged appropriately, as the form and weight are key factors in determining the correct HS code. Products exceeding the weight limit or having fillings will require different classifications.
