• no interesterification) to avoid reclassification under Chapter 15 headings for modified oils
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming safflower seed origin and refinement process; ensure FDA prior notice for food imports
• Label with accurate fatty acid profile and smoke point to comply with FDA nutritional labeling; watch for contamination risks during bulk shipping
