Last updated: August 2026 dataHigher-fat fluid dairy — including half-and-half and light whipping cream formats with fat content between 6% and 10% — occupies a narrow but commercially distinct segment of the US dairy import schedule, with three tariff lines differentiating a special US note 5 category (0401400500) from general product (0401402500) and a broader base line (0401400000). Canada is the dominant supplier under this heading, consistent with its geographic proximity and USMCA-governed dairy trade relationship with the US. Italy and Austria also appear among leading sources, reflecting European specialty cream exports. As with all fluid dairy imports, FDA pasteurization compliance and foreign establishment approval are mandatory prerequisites for US market entry; consult a licensed customs broker to confirm TRQ applicability and correct line selection.

The 'US NTE 5' designation in line 0401400500 refers to a US additional note that defines a specific subset of milk and cream eligible for a particular duty treatment — typically tied to a TRQ or special country-specific allocation. Importers should review the relevant US additional note in Chapter 4 of the HTS and confirm with a licensed customs broker whether their shipment qualifies for this line or must be entered under the general NESOI line (0401402500).
The boundary between the two headings is the 6% fat threshold: products at or below 6% fat fall under 040120, while those above 6% and up to 10% fall under 040140. Fat content must be determined by standard laboratory analysis, and the declared fat percentage on the commercial invoice should match the test results. A product near the 6% boundary should be tested before entry to avoid misclassification and potential penalty.
