Import Tips
• Include processing statements confirming no refinement beyond extraction to match 'whether or not refined' scope
• Check for soap-stocks or residues which fall under 1522 per chapter notes, avoiding misdeclaration
• Ensure cold-chain documentation for perishability; spoilage leads to customs rejection
