Import Tips
• Verify purity and rendering process documentation to confirm classification as processed pig fat, avoiding confusion with fresh pork fats under Chapter 02
• Include certificates of origin and food safety compliance (e.g
• FDA prior notice) to prevent holds at customs
• Check for additives; if merely denatured per Chapter Note to 1518, reclassify to undenatured heading
