I didn't see anything in your list about dairy products so I would think
they are not exempt.
But, even if they are exempt, they still need to be contacted concerning
their mis-use of ounces and hopefully they can be persuaded to use metric
units to clarify their intended declaration.
Do they mean dry pints and weight ounces? This would be clarified by a
declaration in grams.
Do they mean liquid ounces and liquid pints, then this would be clarified by
a declaration in litres.
As always, the metric is needed to clarify a confusing declaration in
English units.
Ajat needs to at least address this point to them.
