Import Tips
• Include processing records showing powdering of UK Stilton to avoid reclassification as whey products
• Check for import licenses if exceeding declaration thresholds, though quota-exempt; label as 'grated/powdered' explicitly
• Test for moisture and fat content matching chapter note definitions to prevent disputes over dairy spread categorization
