Import Tips
• Australia's generous 2.45M kg quota but competitive; include regional appellation certificates
• FDA requires nutritional analysis for grass-fed claims; verify no rBST hormone usage documentation
• Use refrigerated containers only; Australian Cheddar prone to rind cracking in temperature fluctuations
