Import Tips
• Submit manufacturer's declaration of fermentation process and fat analysis; CBP may test for butterfat compliance
• Enter only up to quota limit (224,981 kg license-required portion); excess subject to over-quota duties
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'nonfat dry milk' which changes chapter classification entirely
