Import Tips

• Verify origin certificates confirming Belgian production to qualify for the 922,315-liter quota under U.S. note 5; non-qualifying entries shift to higher-duty subheadings

• Provide detailed volume documentation and track calendar-year quotas via CBP to prevent over-entry penalties

• Ensure product labeling complies with FDA dairy standards and net quantity declarations for smooth customs clearance
