Import Tips
• Include official Canadian certification paperwork proving compliance with 833,417 kg quota and raw milk aging standards
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'processed cheese' which disqualifies quota benefits
• Label clearly as 'grated Cheddar' with fat content details to prevent CBP reclassification
