Import Tips
• Declare exact milk solids percentage and form (granular) on entry documents to prevent reclassification as retail product
• Monitor annual quotas for chocolate crumb; non-quota origins like Mexico require separate verification
• Use FDA prior notice for food imports and ensure no retail packaging to comply with statistical notes
