Import Tips
• Canadian Cheddar aged 9+ months from unpasteurized milk exempt from licensing up to quota limit; obtain Canadian government certification
• Maintain cold chain documentation; FDA prior notice required 2-72 hours before arrival for dairy products
• Avoid quota overrun by tracking entries; excess subject to over-quota rates significantly higher than TRQ
