Import Tips
• Verify origin compliance with blue-mold quotas; Denmark falls under 'Other' with minimal allocation, often requiring reallocation via USDA
• Include certificate of origin and fat content analysis; ensure packaging labels 'processed cheese' to avoid natural cheese scrutiny
• Monitor aggregate blue-mold quota (e.g
• EU-27 at 2.8M kg); over-quota entries face higher duties or rejection
