Import Tips
• Confirm that the glyceryl stearate SE is not put up in a form for retail sale that would classify it under another heading
• Provide a technical data sheet showing the composition and the absence of free glycerin that could affect classification
• Ensure the product is not mixed with other emulsifiers that would change its essential character
