Import Tips
• Include cheesemaker end-use declaration to support classification as fresh milk rather than processed dairy
• Raw sheep milk requires veterinary certificates proving freedom from brucellosis per USDA APHIS
• Document exact fat content via refractometer testing to avoid reclassification to lower fat subheadings
