Import Tips

• Verify eligibility under General Note 15 and provide supporting documentation like certificates of origin to claim preferential treatment

• Include detailed ingredient labels showing milk content and alcoholic strength below 0.5% vol. to confirm non-alcoholic classification

• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring product is entered specifically under this subheading; misclassification to general milk drinks may incur higher duties
