Import Tips

• Confirm powder moisture content <5% via certificate of analysis; exceeds may reclassify as fresh cheese

• Check TRQ eligibility under note 20 for American-type; Mexico-origin prohibited—use alternative HTS if applicable

• Document spray-drying process to prove 'processed from' American-type cheese compliance
