Import Tips
• Obtain import license from USDA before entry as required for quota under additional U.S. note 21; Mexico-origin prohibited
• Provide certification proving cheese is processed from authentic cow's milk Italian-type (e.g
• Reggiano) and meets quota provisions
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring documentation specifies grated/powdered form, not solid wheels which fall under 0406.10.54
