Import Tips
• Include sterilization process certification; CBP examines container integrity for airtight seal
• Commercial invoice must specify 'unsweetened condensed milk' and net weight excluding container
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'evaporated' - both are condensed but labeling differs
