Import Tips
• Document the refinement process to show it is physical (e.g
• degumming, bleaching) and not chemical
• If the oil contains additives for textile use, it may be classified as a preparation under Chapter 34 or 38
• Ensure the product is not denatured, as denatured oils are classified elsewhere per Chapter 15 note 3
