Import Tips
• Document triple-cream fat content (>60%) and Penicillium glaucum/roqueforti use to confirm blue-veined status
• Apply for license under Additional U.S
• Note 17; German-origin (EU-27) subject to primary quota share
• Prevent reclassification by specifying 'processed' on invoices; include production records showing emulsification
