Import Tips
• Track primary quota exhaustion via Federal Register notices to time entries for secondary allocation under 9823.05.04
• Maintain complete supply chain documentation proving Canadian origin from farm to processing facility
• Test for residual fat content (<1.5% allowable) to prevent reclassification from nonfat to whole milk powder categories
