Import Tips
• Include HPLC test results showing fructan profile to prove inulin identity vs. oligofructose mixtures
• Avoid packaging in retail consumer units to prevent shift to 21.06; ship bulk for manufacturing
• Check for EU origin certificates, as chicory inulin often requires residue testing for pesticides
