Dehydrated Butter Powder
Dehydrated butter powder is spray-dried butter with over 45% milkfat, used in baking and confectionery. Because it is dehydrated, it does not meet the water content limit for butter under heading 04.05, so it is classified as 'other' under tariff item 0405.90.10, which is within an access commitment.
