Import Tips

• Verify oil purity and free fatty acid content via certificate of analysis to confirm crude status and avoid misclassification as refined

• Include detailed documentation on seed origin and extraction method, as sunflower oil from specific regions may qualify for trade agreements

• Check for pesticide residues, as agricultural imports require compliance with FDA prior notice and import alerts
