Dried Whey Powder for Livestock Feed from Canada
Dried whey powder produced by spray-drying liquid whey from cheese production, used primarily as a protein supplement in animal feed formulations. It falls under HTS 0404.10.50 as dried whey entered under the quota in additional U.S. note 12, which limits imports of dried whey to 296,000 kg annually requiring USDA licenses. Meets chapter requirements as natural whey concentrate without exceeding lactose thresholds for reclassification.
