Import Tips

Formulation sheet required proving no quota cheese components from 0406.90.61/0406.90.63

Fat content testing critical; spreads approaching dairy spread definition (39-80% fat) risk reclassification

Retail packaging vs. bulk affects documentation; consumer packs need full labeling compliance
