Import Tips
• Declare exact protein percentage and production method (e.g
• ultrafiltration) in entry docs to distinguish from whey proteins
• Comply with USDA dairy import licensing if from certain countries to avoid quotas
• Watch for moisture content; high-moisture MPC may be scrutinized for spoilage risks
