Last updated: April 2026 dataSkim milk powder (SMP) — milk dried to solid form with no more than 1.5% fat by weight — is a globally traded commodity used extensively in infant formula, bakery, and processed food manufacturing. US imports of SMP are subject to dairy tariff-rate quotas, and all shipments require USDA FSIS admissibility review from approved foreign establishments. The low fat specification is a hard classification boundary: product testing above 1.5% fat shifts classification to a different heading with different duty treatment. Proper moisture and fat certificates from the exporting dairy are essential documentation at entry.

The terms are often used interchangeably commercially, but for US tariff classification the controlling factor is fat content not exceeding 1.5% by weight in solid form. Product labeled 'nonfat dry milk' that meets this specification falls here; any solid milk product exceeding 1.5% fat is classified under a separate heading with different duty rates.
Shipments must originate from a USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishment and be accompanied by a foreign government inspection certificate. FSIS conducts reinspection at the port of entry, and product may be detained or refused if the establishment is not on the approved list or if labeling does not comply with US standards.
