All these TARTUFO desserts appear to be thinly coated with the following: cocoa and icing sugar, almonds and cookie crumbs, coffee and cookie crumbs or hazelnuts, cookie crumbs with a chocolate coating.

The applicable subheading for the Tartufo, ice cream novelty, if imported in quantities that fall within the limits described in additional U.S. note 10 to chapter 4, will be 2105.00.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for ice cream and other edible ice, whether or not containing cocoa: other: Dairy products described in additional U.S. note 1 to chapter 4 and entered pursuant to its provisions. The rate of duty will be 20 percent ad valorem.
