Import Tips
• Specify 'poultry-free' in invoices to avoid misclassification under poultry fat headings like 1501.30
• Conduct lab tests for fat composition if challenged, ensuring no water or other dilutions affecting 'kg cmsc' if blended
• Comply with HACCP plans for animal fat imports to expedite FDA clearance
