Import Tips
• Include end-use statements specifying 'oil extraction' to support classification and potential duty reductions
• Test for foreign matter (<2%) to comply with FDA food import regs if destined for edible oil
• Avoid bulk packaging over 50kg without liners to prevent mold during ocean transit
