Import Tips
• Verify fat content certification below 1.5% as this determines classification from higher-fat powders under 0402.21
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure compliance with pasteurization standards; no USDA import license typically required for this non-quota subheading
• Avoid misclassification as infant formula which requires additional registration under 1901.10
