Import Tips
• Verify butterfat content lab certification below 0.5% to avoid reclassification to higher-fat subheadings
• Obtain USDA import license if subject to cheese quota limits under Additional U.S
• Note 16
• Ensure grated form is uniform powder; mixtures over 1% other cheeses may trigger different quotas
