Import Tips & Compliance

Submit lab reports confirming oleic acid content >70% to distinguish from standard safflower; ensure varietal purity

Comply with biotech labeling if genetically selected traits are involved, though non-GMO high oleic exists

Bulk importers should specify stability index in contracts; monitor for free fatty acid levels exceeding import specs
