Import Tips
• Attach USMCA certification proving originating status to leverage general note 15 duty-free or reduced rates
• Document kg cmsc content precisely to confirm dairy classification per statistical note on cows' milk solids
• Avoid misdeclaration as non-dairy; importers often face audits—retain supplier specs on milk fat fractions
