Import Tips
• Provide compositional breakdown including kg cmsc if any cow milk components to align with statistical notes
• Avoid consumer-ready packaging; use industrial drums or totes to maintain bulk classification
• Check for butterfat limits (≤5.5%) to potentially qualify for quota-allocated subheadings
