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
