Import Tips

• Obtain USDA import license due to quantitative restrictions on Italian-type cheeses; quotas apply excluding Mexico-origin products

• Provide certificate of origin and composition verifying cow's milk Romano/Reggiano/Parmesan type and grated form

• Avoid misclassification as fresh cheese; ensure documentation shows grating process and compliance with no protective covering weight allowance
