About Milk
Fresh milk is heavily restricted or prohibited in most countries due to disease risks and short shelf life. UHT (ultra-heat-treated) milk in sealed commercial packaging is more acceptable. Infant formula and powdered milk have more lenient rules in many countries. Always declare milk products and keep them in original packaging with visible expiration dates and ingredient labels.
