Import Tips
• Obtain certification confirming UK origin and Stilton PDO status to qualify under note 24 exemption; secure USDA import license if entering under quota provisions
• Verify processing meets 'processed cheese' criteria without grating or powdering
• Avoid misdeclaration as non-UK Stilton, which falls under quota-limited blue-mold codes
