Import Tips

• Confirm that the palmitic acid is not mixed with other fatty acids in a way that would change its classification

• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the purity and the absence of impurities that could affect classification

• Ensure the product is not put up in a form for retail sale that would classify it under another heading
