Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain import license from USDA prior to entry as required for General Note 15 dairy quotas; Australian origin qualifies for specific allocations

• Verify fat content documentation (10-45% by weight) through lab analysis certificates to confirm subheading 0401.50 compliance

• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no concentration or added sugars, as these shift classification to 0402 or 0403
