Good to know

Importing dairy into the U.S. has real requirements.

FDA prior notice

All food shipments into the U.S. require FDA prior notice before arrival — we handle this as part of every export.

USDA/FSIS involvement

Dairy imports may fall under USDA/FSIS or FDA jurisdiction depending on classification — we confirm this with your customs broker for every order.

Work with your broker

We recommend every buyer use a licensed U.S. customs broker familiar with dairy imports — we're glad to coordinate directly with them.
