Import Tips
• Explicitly prohibited if product of Mexico per multiple U.S. notes; source from quota-eligible countries only
• Include microbial analysis proving lactic acid fermentation to distinguish from simple dried cream
• Package in consumer-ready sizes carefully; bulk packaging avoids retail set classification issues
