Import Tips
• Verify fermentation process documentation; must show lactic acid bacteria cultures per Chapter 4 butter definition standards
• Subject to aggregate dried cream quota (US note 2); apply early for licenses via USDA Dairy Import Licensing Program
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'nonfat dry milk' which falls under restricted 0402.21 quotas
