Import Tips & Compliance
• UK Stilton exempt from some cheese quotas per note 24, but grated form still requires blue-mold license
• Document 'shaved/grated' processing method; whole wheels classify differently under 0406.40
• Beware misclassification as fresh cheese - ripening period determines blue-vein status
