Import Tips
• Verify milkfat content (39-80%) via lab analysis to confirm dairy spread classification per Chapter 4 notes
• Check USDA import license requirements; dairy spreads may fall under butter substitute quotas in additional U.S. notes
• Ensure labeling shows milkfat as only fat source to avoid reclassification to butter substitutes (2106)
