Import Tips

Obtain USDA import license as this falls under Italian-type cheese quotas (Additional U.S

Provide lab analysis confirming cow's milk origin and Parmesan characteristics; no Mexico-origin products allowed under quota

Avoid misclassification as grated cheese under 0406.90.46; ensure documentation specifies 'other' processed form
