Import Tips
• Document predominant cheddar content (>50%) for classification; blends risk scrutiny under mixtures exclusion
• Ensure no blue-mold or Italian cheese to avoid 0406.90.61/63 mixture prohibition
• Pre-shredded forms need moisture analysis; over 60% moisture may reclassify as fresh cheese
