U.S. imports of milk & cream, not concentrated or sweetened, over 1% to not over 6% fat (HS 040120) totaled $1.3M in April 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Milk & Cream, Not Concentrated or Sweetened, Over 1% to Not Over 6% Fat paid $9K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 7.0% on $130K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFluid milk and cream in the 1–6% fat range — covering whole milk and light cream formats — is subject to tariff-rate quota (TRQ) treatment in the US, with the schedule distinguishing organic product (0401201000), in-quota volumes (0401202000), over-quota volumes (0401204000), and other forms (0401205000). Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, and imports from both countries benefit from USMCA treatment, which affects quota administration and duty rates for qualifying shipments. The TRQ structure means that duty exposure rises sharply for volumes above the quota threshold, making quota tracking a central compliance task for regular importers. FDA pasteurization and establishment-approval requirements apply to all fluid dairy imports regardless of fat content.

The TRQ allocates a set volume of imports at a lower in-quota duty rate; volumes above that threshold are subject to a significantly higher over-quota rate. USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service administers dairy TRQ allocations, and importers or their brokers must file under the correct in-quota or over-quota tariff line depending on whether quota is available at time of entry. Quota fill rates are published periodically and can be monitored through USDA's online licensing system.
Line 0401201000 is reserved for milk and cream in the 1–6% fat range that is certified organic under USDA's National Organic Program (NOP) or an equivalent foreign program recognized by USDA. Importers must provide organic certification documentation at entry; product that cannot be verified as certified organic must be entered under one of the non-organic lines, with TRQ status determined separately.
