Import Tips

Verify the product contains no dairy or animal-derived milk proteins exceeding trace amounts to maintain non-dairy classification; include lab analysis in documentation

Label packages clearly as 'non-dairy' with full ingredient lists to comply with FDA food labeling requirements and avoid reclassification

Check for hydrogenated oil content, as high trans-fat levels may trigger additional health claim restrictions during customs review
