Import Tips

• Obtain USDA import license as this falls under dairy quotas in Additional U.S

• Note 7; Mexican-origin goods prohibited

• Provide lab analysis certifying butterfat ≤45% and fermentation status to avoid reclassification to fresh sour cream (0403.10)

• Ensure packaging labels 'dried sour cream' clearly; common pitfall is moisture content misrepresentation leading to customs disputes
