About heading 1806
Chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa
Heading 1806 covers chocolate and other food preparations that contain cocoa, from sweetened cocoa powder to retail chocolate bars. It is split by form and sugar level: cocoa powder with added sweetening (1806.10), bulk preparations over 2 kg (1806.20), blocks, slabs or bars that are filled (1806.31) or not filled (1806.32), and all other preparations (1806.90). Within each group, the rate depends on sugar content, milk solids or butterfat content, and whether a chapter note quota provision applies.
