Danish Blue Grated Cheese from Mexico

Import Tips
• EU aggregate quota shared with other blue-mold; Denmark allocation via reallocation if underfilled
• Label as 'grated/powdered' explicitly; avoid bulk packaging that suggests ungrated form
• Test for max 16% water content to confirm not dairy spread under 0405
