U.S. exports of Milk & Cream, Not Concentrated or Sweetened, Not Over 1% Fat (HS 040110) totaled $3.0M in August 2026, exported to 6 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataLow-fat fluid milk and cream with a fat content not exceeding 1% — essentially skim or very low-fat milk in liquid form — enters the US under a single tariff line (0401100000) and is subject to FDA oversight as a dairy product, including pasteurization and labeling requirements. Poland and Portugal are among the leading suppliers, reflecting European export capacity for shelf-stable or UHT-processed low-fat dairy. Import volumes in this category tend to be modest relative to higher-fat dairy products, as fluid milk logistics favor domestic production, but specialty UHT and organic formats drive cross-border trade. Importers should confirm that foreign dairy establishments are listed on FDA's approved import list and that products meet US pasteurization standards.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Imported fluid milk must meet FDA's Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) standards, which require that the product be pasteurized and that the foreign country's dairy regulatory system be recognized as equivalent to US standards. The foreign establishment must also be listed on FDA's import milk program. Shipments that do not meet these requirements are subject to refusal of admission.
UHT (ultra-high temperature) processing gives European low-fat milk an extended shelf life of several months without refrigeration, making long-distance ocean freight economically viable in ways that fresh pasteurized milk is not. This shelf-stable format also suits specialty retail and foodservice channels that value consistent supply and reduced cold-chain dependency.
