Paneer Cheese from Canada
Paneer is an Indian fresh acid-set cheese made from cow or buffalo milk, known for its firm texture in curries. Falls under HTS 0406.90.63.00 as 'other cheese' under general note 15 quota provisions, as it doesn't match specific enumerated cheese types. Requires import licensing.
