Import Tips

Confirm no more than trace dairy solids to stay under 'food preparations of 0401-0404' limits

Use commercial invoices specifying bulk industrial use to differentiate from retail doughs

Test for starch content exceeding chapter 11 levels, as 'otherwise prepared' requires processing beyond raw materials
