Import Tips
• Verify cows’ milk solids content (kg cmsc) via lab testing to confirm dairy note 1 compliance and accurate duty calculation
• Provide certificates of analysis proving <5% cocoa and no infant formula status to prevent reclassification
• Label precisely with dairy content and avoid 'infant food' claims to stay out of 1901.10 quotas
