Import Tips
• Provide DOP (Denominación de Origen Protegida) certification proving sheep's milk and regional origin
• Monitor general cheese quota under Additional U.S
• Note 16; licenses required for non-exempt countries
• Test for minimum aging (60 days) documentation; pitfall is classifying under fresh cheese if underaged
