Import Tips
• Provide dairy origin certificates to differentiate from plant-based proteins and comply with lactose content declarations
• Avoid retail packaging over 5kg to prevent misclassification as bulk animal feed under 2309
• Test for microbial contamination, as whey concentrates are prone to issues triggering FDA import alerts
