U.S. imports of milk with fat content exceeding 1% but not exceeding 6% by weight (SITC 02212) totaled $1.3M in April 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Milk with Fat Content Exceeding 1% but Not Exceeding 6% by Weight 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 dataWhole milk, reduced-fat milk, and similar fluid dairy products with a fat content between 1% and 6% by weight fall within this heading, a band that captures the commercially dominant retail milk fat ranges. Like other fluid milk imports, these products are subject to FDA labeling requirements and USDA-administered tariff-rate quotas, with the fat-content band serving as a hard classification boundary — products just above 6% fat would shift to a different heading with potentially different duty treatment. Accurate fat-content documentation is therefore a routine compliance requirement for dairy importers working in this range.

A fat content exceeding 6% by weight would place the product outside this heading and into a higher-fat classification, which may carry a different duty rate and separate TRQ treatment. If CBP laboratory testing at the port produces a result above the 6% ceiling, the entry would need to be amended to reflect the correct classification, potentially resulting in additional duties. Importers should build a testing margin into their quality control process to avoid borderline results.
Yes. FDA's standards of identity for milk specify the fat content thresholds that determine how a product may be labeled — for example, 'reduced fat milk' must contain a specific fat percentage. Imported fluid milk must comply with these standards before it can be sold in US commerce, and labels must accurately reflect the fat content. Non-compliant labeling can result in detention or refusal at the port of entry. Importers should confirm label compliance before shipment.
