Import Tips

Verify butterfat content exceeds 25% with lab analysis certificates to confirm classification under this subheading

Ensure documentation proves not put up for retail sale, such as bulk packaging over 5kg, to prevent reclassification

Comply with FDA prior notice and dairy import licenses; common pitfall is mislabeling cocoa content if traces present
