Import Tips
• Secure import license under quota Note 21; Argentina has 6,383,000 kg access but monitor annual limits
• Provide moisture and protein specs to distinguish from whey concentrates (heading 0404) or high-lactose (1702)
• Label clearly as 'other Romano' to avoid reclassification to 0406.90.36 for non-loaf forms
