Import Tips
• Verify milk source documentation proving non-cow's milk (e.g
• goat) to avoid reclassification under cow's milk cajeta subheadings
• Include lab analysis certificates showing less than 5% cocoa if any traces present, per chapter notes
• Label products clearly with ingredients and milk solids content to prevent FDA holds at entry
