Import Tips
• Confirm cheese meets 'original loaves' requirement - must ship in manufacturer-formed shape, not consumer portions
• Include laboratory analysis showing cow's milk origin and compliance with fresh cheese fat/moisture specs
• Monitor EU-27 quota allocation; oversubscription common requiring early license application
