Import Tips

• Obtain USDA import license as this falls under blue-mold cheese quotas (Additional U.S

• Note 17); track country-specific limits like EU-27's 2,805,383 kg

• Provide lab analysis confirming blue-vein characteristics and emulsifier content; declare exact mold type to distinguish from Roquefort (0406.30.15)

• Avoid misclassification as natural cheese (0406.30.14) by documenting processing with heat and emulsifying salts
