Import Tips
• Obtain USDA import license due to annual quota of 6,857,300 kg for 0402.99 subheadings; Mexican origin prohibited
• Verify fat content and ensure labeling shows 'condensed milk with sugar added'
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as evaporated milk (0402.91) without proper concentration testing
