Import Tips

• Obtain USDA import license due to quantitative restrictions on butter substitutes over 45% butterfat; verify milkfat content via lab analysis to confirm >95% for this classification

• Avoid misdeclaration as butter (0405.10) which has stricter composition rules; declare country of origin carefully as Mexico products are excluded from quotas
