Buffalo Milk Condensed with Honey from China
Water buffalo milk concentrated and blended with natural honey as sweetener for specialty desserts. Falls under HTS 0402.99.90.00 for other sweetened concentrated milks, as buffalo milk evades cow's milk quotas and doesn't match modified whey or butter specs. Honey qualifies as 'other sweetening matter' per heading.
