Import Tips

• Obtain USDA import license under Additional U.S

• Note 23 as Argentina has 100,000 kg quota for this category; EU producers use separate allocations

• Provide certificate of origin and lab analysis confirming sheep's milk composition and 'original loaf' form (5-7kg cylinders, natural rind)

• Avoid misclassification as grated Pecorino (0406.90.66) or processed cheese; ensure loaves remain whole, not crumbled or portioned
