Import Tips
• Submit USDA or EU-equivalent organic certificates per General Statistical Note 6 to claim organic status and avoid standard crude classification
• Label containers clearly as 'organic crude oil' with lot numbers for traceability in case of FDA audits
• Avoid mixing with conventional oil in storage tanks to prevent commingling and reclassification issues
