Import Tips & Compliance

Document chain of custody from farm to oil mill to prove oil stock end-use and avoid food product misclassification

Check moisture content (typically under 7% for dry-blanched) as CBP may sample for verification

Avoid common pitfall of inadequate varietal labeling; specify Runner/Virginia to confirm subheading fit
