Import Tips
• Verify the oil is from fish livers and not chemically modified (e.g
• no hydrogenation) to avoid reclassification under Chapter 15 headings for modified fats
• Provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming refinement process and absence of chemical modification, plus origin documentation for fish species
• Label accurately with nutritional content, especially omega-3 levels, to comply with FDA import requirements and avoid holds at customs
