Import Tips
• Verify erucic acid content via lab testing to confirm not low erucic (under 2%) and avoid misclassification to 1205.10
• Provide certificates of analysis showing glucosinolate levels and oil composition for customs clearance
• Check for broken seeds; ensure documentation reflects whether broken or whole to prevent reclassification
