• Secure pre-export certification from Canadian authorities documenting raw milk source and minimum 9-month aging period
• Declare as 'not subject to licensing' only with proper quota documentation to avoid penalties
• Test for moisture content compliance as excessive water disqualifies butterfat percentage standards
