Import Tips
• Document specific fermentation culture (kephir grains) as some entries may scrutinize against buttermilk definition
• Use licensed customs broker familiar with dairy TRQ procedures to handle license validation
• Test for moisture content; excessive moisture may disqualify 'dried' status for classification
