Fluid Milk & Cream, Not Concentrated or Sweetened, Fat Content Over 6% but Not Exceeding 10%

Covering high-fat fluid cream products — such as light whipping cream and certain specialty creams — in the 6%–10% fat band, this heading is subject to TRQ treatment under the US schedule, with line 0401400500 reserved for shipments within a specific US note quota and 0401402500 for all other entries. Canada is the leading supplier, benefiting from USMCA's dairy provisions, though the heading also draws supply from European origins including Italy and Austria. FDA pasteurization and food safety requirements apply at entry, and the relatively narrow fat-content window means laboratory verification of fat levels is important to avoid misclassification into the adjacent 040150 heading.
