Import Tips
• Verify origin certification to confirm cod species (Gadus morhua) and ensure no chemical modification per chapter notes
• Provide lab analysis for purity and fraction content; common pitfall is misclassifying refined vs crude oils
• Label with FDA nutritional claims if for human consumption to avoid reclassification
