Import Tips
• Lab certify butterfat/milk solids for Ch.4 note 1; non-compliance leads to duty reassessment
• Use entry type 01 for quota-sensitive items; include country-of-origin for Ireland/UK/New Zealand allocations
• Prevent melting with proper packaging; declare 'in blocks' explicitly to avoid parts classification
