Import Tips
• Provide lab tests confirming linolenic acid levels below 3% to distinguish from standard crude oils and support 'other' classification
• Ensure bulk containers meet food-grade standards with proper seals to prevent contamination during ocean freight
• Monitor EU or US origin quotas, as high volumes may trigger additional tariffs or antidumping duties
