Thanks everyone. I used 'Ice-cream' from IATE. Thanks Andres for the link to the OECD, where I found 'excise duty on ice-cream (afgift af konsumis)'

Note from asker:
Thanks Andres for all the useful links. Unfortunately I can't give you any points for your answer. I found the term in IATE just after I posted it, so I closed it again immediately!

ice cream/ice milk for consumer consumption

though the distinction for ice milk isn't often made in Denmark.

p.s. It would be nice to learn what term you ended up using (from the IATE glossary)

ice cream

Why the fuss? Diarmuid is asking about konsum-is, not about the excise taxes on it or anything relating to duties or taxes. Simple!
