Sheep Milk Cajeta Dulce de Leche from Japan

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
