Last updated: April 2026 dataSkim milk powder (SMP) — the dominant commercial form under this heading — is a globally traded dairy ingredient used extensively in food manufacturing, infant formula blending, and animal feed. Canada and New Zealand are the leading US import suppliers, with the Netherlands also a significant source, reflecting the export capacity of major dairy-producing nations. The US schedule separates in-quota entries (0402101000) from over-quota NESOI entries (0402105000), making TRQ management a central concern for importers sourcing at volume. All entries require USDA FSIS admissibility clearance from an approved establishment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The US schedule distinguishes between in-quota entries under the quantity limits specified in US additional notes and over-quota NESOI entries. Importers must monitor TRQ fill levels, as shipments arriving after quota exhaustion are subject to the higher over-quota duty rate.
This heading covers milk and cream in powder or solid form with a fat content not over 1.5%, regardless of protein level. Milk protein concentrates — which are processed to increase the protein-to-lactose ratio beyond what occurs in standard SMP — are classified under heading 0404, not here. The distinction matters because the two products face different duty structures and TRQ regimes.
