Import Tips

• Confirm blend composition via certificate of analysis; mixtures must contain cow's milk to qualify under note 16

• No Mexico-origin allowed; declare country accurately to match quota access (e.g

• Italy via EU-27)

• Prepare for potential CBP inspection on grated particle size to ensure not misclassified as flour-like (1702 exclusion)
