Import Tips
• Include contracts or affidavits specifying crusher end-use to support 'oil stock' claim during entry
• Test for erucic acid levels if blended with rapeseed; exceeds threshold may invoke subheading 1205 notes indirectly
• Beware quota restrictions in some markets; pre-clear with USDA for flaxseed imports
