Sheep Milk Cajeta Dulce de Leche from Germany
Traditional Mexican cajeta crafted from sheep's milk, slowly cooked with cane sugar to achieve a rich, fudgy texture ideal for spreading on toast or filling pastries. It qualifies for HTS 1901.90.32.00 because it is a food preparation from non-cow's milk (heading 0401-0404) not containing cocoa.

Import Tips
• Provide veterinary certificates for sheep milk origin to meet USDA import requirements for dairy products
• Conduct total defatted cocoa analysis if flavored variants exist to confirm under 5% threshold
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'dulce de leche' which implies cow's milk, triggering wrong subheading
