Import Tips

Verify milk solids content via lab analysis exceeding 10% by weight for correct classification; retain certificates for CBP review

Confirm entry eligibility under U.S. note 2 quota (7.4M kg aggregate, country-specific shares like Ireland's 5.47M kg); track annual usage

Exclude Mexican-origin products; declare country of origin accurately to avoid misclassification into non-quota subheadings
