Chocolate HS Code description
Chocolate harmonized system code
Product Overview Definition: Chocolate under HTS 1806.90 is defined as chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa that are not classified in more specific subheadings of Chapter 18; it includes solid, semi‑solid and liquid formulations composed primarily of cocoa mass, cocoa butter, sugar and optional milk solids, emulsifiers and flavorings. Key characteristics include physical state (blocks, slabs, tablets, bars, pastes, coatings, pralines), particle size (typical particle fineness ≤30 microns for couverture), fat content (cocoa butter commonly 20–40% w/w), total cocoa solids (commonly 10–85% w/w depending on product type), moisture (<3% for shelf‑stable solids), and processing level (conched, tempered, enrobed, compounded). Product classifications within 1806.90 commonly segregate by composition and form: plain dark chocolate, milk chocolate, compound coatings (vegetable fat substitutions), filled/confectionery, and liquid/bulk chocolate for industrial use. Commercial applications include retail confectionery, bakery and pastry ingredients, chocolate coatings and enrobing, industrial molding and confection production, and ingredient blends for foodservice and private‑label manufacturing. HTS Code Classification & Trade Specifications Complete HTS Code Structure: Chapter 18 — Cocoa and cocoa preparations; Heading 1806 — Chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa; Subheading 1806.90 — Other (six‑digit HTS: 1806.90). Classification rationale: products meeting the ingredient and compositional profile for chocolate but not specifically enumerated in headings 1806.10–1806.88 are classified here, with determinations based on cocoa solids/fats, presence of milk, and whether cocoa butter has been replaced by vegetable fats (compound). Trade considerations include typical commercial packaging (retail bars 20–200 g, bulk blocks 1–25 kg, liquid in drums/IBCs), labeling and documentation (commercial invoice, bill of lading, country of origin, ingredient declaration, net/gross weight), and transport: temperature‑controlled or insulated containers (recommended 15–20 °C), humidity control, palletization, and segregation from odorous cargo. Quality standards reference Codex and national definitions (e.g., commonly specified minimum cocoa solids for dark/milk variants), shelf life (commonly 12–24 months depending on formulation), and microbiological/contaminant limits required for customs and import compliance.
