Import Tips
• Obtain USDA import license as this falls under Edam/Gouda cheese quota (additional U.S. note 21); verify country-specific allocations like EU-27's 6,389,000 kg limit
• Provide lab analysis confirming processed cheese composition (emulsifiers, milkfat levels) and origin certification to avoid reclassification
