Import Tips
• Verify oil purity and seed origin with certificates of analysis to confirm crude status and avoid reclassification as refined
• Ensure documentation shows no chemical modification or refinement to qualify under this crude oil subheading
• Check for FFA (free fatty acid) levels typical of crude oils, as high refinement could shift to 1512.12
