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
