Import Tips
• Submit lab reports proving no chemical modification and pure liver origin to prevent shifts to modified fat headings
• Include sustainable fishing certifications (e.g
• MSC) as customs may request for marine products to avoid delays
• Watch for contamination issues common in fish oils; ensure heavy metal testing to meet FDA entry requirements
