Import Tips
• Include DOP certificate and aging documentation (minimum 12 months) to validate classification as genuine Italian-type cheese
• Check EU-27 quota availability (5,407,000 kg) before booking; licenses issued by USDA based on country of origin
• Declare exact weight excluding inedible rind per US note; over-declaring triggers quota overfill penalties
