Import Tips
• Verify milk content documentation to confirm classification under 2309; test for dairy derivatives if challenged by CBP
• Note annual quantitative restrictions on milk-containing feeds—entries over limits may face higher duties or denial
• Label products clearly with ingredient breakdown, avoiding claims that could shift to pharmaceutical headings
