Import Tips
• Obtain USDA import license before entry as required for quota under additional U.S. note 12; Mexico-origin prohibited
• Provide lab analysis certificate verifying butterfat ≤6% by weight and dry matter content to avoid reclassification
• Monitor annual quota (296,000 kg total) as oversubscription leads to higher TRQ rates or denial of entry
