Import Tips
• Verify product origin from Ireland to qualify under general note 15 quota allocations; non-qualifying entries may shift to higher-duty subheadings
• Provide certificate of origin and detailed ingredient list confirming milk derivatives content to avoid misclassification
• Monitor annual quota usage (5,470,323 kg for Ireland) via USITC resources to prevent over-quota duties
