Import Tips
• Verify fat content via lab analysis to confirm >45% butterfat and >10% milk solids for accurate classification under 2106.90.26.00
• Include detailed ingredient lists and certificates of analysis in documentation to avoid reclassification to dairy headings
• Beware of mislabeling as 'butter' which could trigger Chapter 4 dairy tariffs; use 'butter substitute' clearly on packaging
