Import Tips
• Document exact dairy fractions to confirm chapter 4 note 1 applicability and kg cmsc calculation
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing dairy content, which could trigger reclassification to higher dairy duties
• Include stability test results if emulsion separates, as it affects 'preparation' status
