Import Tips
• Submit compositional analysis showing no emulsifiers (per butter note applicability); natural lactic cultures only
• Check against US note 7 dried whey quota (296,000 kg); ensure not reclassified as whey concentrate
• Package in moisture-proof bags; high humidity can alter dry matter, affecting butterfat percentage declaration
