HS code for Dark chocolate bar 70%
HS 2022Destination FRConfidence 0.85Reviewed by a second modelChocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa > Other, in blocks, slabs or bars > Not filled
Section IV: Prepared foodstuffs; beverages, spirits and vinegar; tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes; Products, whether or not containing nicotine, intended for inhalation without combustion; Other nicotine containing products intended for the intake of nicotine into the human body · Chapter 18: Cocoa and cocoa preparations · Heading 1806: Chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa
Why this code
A dark chocolate bar with 70% cocoa is chocolate, a food preparation containing cocoa, so it falls in heading 1806 (GRI 1, Chapter 18 Note 2). It is not cocoa paste (1803), because it is sweetened. It is not sugar confectionery without cocoa (1704). Heading 1901 does not apply because cocoa content is high. At subheading level (GRI 6), a retail bar normally weighs well under 2 kg, which excludes 1806.20. That leaves 1806.31 (filled) or 1806.32 (not filled). Plain dark chocolate with no stated filling is not filled, so 1806.32 is most probable. Weight and absence of filling are unconfirmed.
Rules applied: GRI 1, Chapter 18 Note 2, GRI 6.
Alternatives considered
| Code | Description | Why not |

Information that would confirm the code

EU Combined Nomenclature / TARIC line for FR
Other
Confidence 0.93. The product is a plain dark chocolate bar at 70% cocoa with no stated cereal, fruit or nut content, so the specific 'with added cereal, fruit or nuts' line is not supported and the residual 'Other' line 1806329000 applies.
