Import Tips

Request manufacturer's agglomeration process certification to distinguish from standard spray-dried powder if valuation differs

Label as 'non-fat dry milk for further manufacturing' to avoid retail food labeling requirements

Test for moisture content (<5% ideal) to prevent caking during ocean shipping
