Import Tips
• Ensure peroxide value tests show low oxidation for shelf-stable imports, meeting food import standards
• Declare fatty acid composition accurately, as high linoleic safflower might face different scrutiny
• Avoid blending declarations that could reclassify under mixed oils in other headings
