Import Tips

Obtain USDA import license prior to shipment as this falls under Italian-type cheese quota (max 13M kg total, country-specific allocations)

Provide lab certification confirming cow's milk origin and composition; misclassification as sheep's milk Romano shifts to different quota

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'generic hard cheese' - specify Italian-type to prevent reclassification and penalties
