Cambozola Powdered Blue Cheese from Mexico
Powdered Cambozola combines Camembert softness with blue veins, triple-cream cow's milk cheese in grated form. Falls under HTS 0406.20.28.00 for other blue-veined powdered cheeses, as it's not traditional Roquefort/Gorgonzola. Excludes non-dairy fats per chapter notes.

Import Tips
• Verify triple-cream (>60% fat) doesn't trigger dairy spread classification under 0405 notes
• Provide aflatoxin-free certification common for blue cheeses; EU origin quota critical
• Declare particle size to confirm 'powdered' vs 'grated' distinction if challenged
