Import Tips
• Obtain USDA import license due to quota restrictions on American-type cheese under Additional U.S
• Note 19
• Verify cheese composition meets processed cheese definitions; provide lab analysis for fat content and origin certification
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring not marketed as natural cheese; common pitfall is confusing with fresh Colby under 0406.10
