Import Tips
• Non-UK Stilton subject to note 17 quota unlike authentic UK product (quota-free); verify origin docs
• Crumble format still qualifies as 'not grated/powdered' if pieces > specific size threshold
• Batch testing recommended for Penicillium roqueforti content to support blue-mold classification
