Import Tips
• This is a within access commitment item under Canada's tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for milk
• Importers must obtain a quota allocation or permit from Global Affairs Canada to benefit from the lower duty rate; otherwise, the over access commitment rate in tariff item 0401.20.20 applies
• Ensure the product's fat content is accurately documented (between 1% and 6%) and that no sugar or sweeteners are added, as this would shift classification
