Import Tips
• Label precisely as 'Asiago Fresco' not 'fresh Asiago'; aging documentation prevents confusion with Asiago d'Allevo
• Maintain cold chain (32-39°F); temperature abuse leads to FDA detention and quota forfeiture
• Batch testing for Listeria required; positive results void entire shipment quota allocation
