Is a ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø import permit required to import human breast milk?
It depends. In general, a ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø import permit is not required for breast milk from a healthy human when being imported for personal use. However, if the breast milk is being imported for research or diagnostic purposes and is reasonably expected to contain a biological agent that is infectious to humans (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus), then a ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø import permit is required.
