Import Tips
• Obtain USDA import license if within quota limits; check annual aggregate limits for dried whey under 0404.10
• Provide lab analysis confirming unmodified whey (no removal/addition of lactose/proteins/minerals per subheading note)
• Avoid misclassification as animal feed preparations (2309) by ensuring primary whey composition over 50%
