Import Tips

• Provide end-use affidavits confirming industrial application, not retail sale as candy

• Test for butterfat/milk solids percentage; non-compliance leads to reclassification and penalties

• Track calendar year quotas if bordering low-fat crumb categories; source from quota-eligible countries
