Last updated: April 2026 data

Low-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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What FDA requirements apply to imported fluid milk with less than 1% fat?

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.

Why is European low-fat milk — from countries like Poland and Portugal — competitive in the US import market despite high logistics costs?

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.
