Import Tips

Obtain Canadian government certification confirming unpasteurized milk origin and 9+ months aging to qualify for license exemption under note 18

Verify product meets exact Cheddar definition and quota provisions; improper documentation leads to reclassification

Maintain cold chain documentation as grated cheese powder is perishable; declare exact weight excluding inedible packaging
