• Provide detailed composition certificate confirming milk solids and butterfat levels for quota eligibility
• Monitor annual quota usage via Customs; oversubscription leads to higher duty rates in subsequent entries
• Label clearly as 'industrial ingredient - not for retail' to prevent misclassification as confectionery
