Import Tips
• Ensure the product is derived from tall oil refining and not a separate chemically defined compound, as Chapter 38 excludes such compounds
• Keep records of the distillation process to substantiate classification
• Verify if the distillate contains any rosin acids above allowable limits, as this may affect the tariff classification
