Import Tips

Obtain USDA import license as this falls under butter oil quantitative limits (6M kg/year, no Mexico origin)

Provide lab certification verifying ≥99% milkfat content and anhydrous state to avoid reclassification

Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as regular butterfat, which changes duty rates and quota eligibility
