Import Tips
• Chile enjoys dedicated 80,000 kg quota under note 17; less competitive than EU allocation
• Include 'harmless lactic-acid bacteria' documentation per chapter 4 butter notes (analogous standard)
• Verify no Mexican origin (prohibited from all dairy quotas); strict country verification needed
