Import Tips
• Check country-specific quotas under Note 16; EU has 25M+ kg access but requires prior license allocation
• Document milkfat and solids-not-fat content to confirm processed status per Chapter 4 notes
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion with retail packs; ensure labeling distinguishes from primary cheese
