Import Tips

• Verify the oleic acid content is sufficient for classification under 3823.12.00; if below 70%, consider other headings

• Document the tallow or grease source and refining process to support the classification

• Be aware that red oil may contain other fatty acids, so a certificate of analysis is essential
