Import Tips

• Verify eligibility under additional U.S. note 10 to chapter 4 with precise cows' milk solids content (kg cmsc) documentation from supplier

• Obtain quota certificate from USDA prior to entry; Irish origin qualifies for 1,700,988 kg annual allocation

• Avoid misclassification by ensuring product is not retail candy under 1806.32.40; common pitfall is exceeding butterfat thresholds
