Import Tips
• Verify refining processes meet FDA standards for edible oils; provide certificates of analysis showing bleaching earth and deodorization compliance
• Label with accurate oil origin and refinement level to avoid misclassification; common pitfall is undeclared impurities leading to reclassification
• Ensure bulk containers are food-grade to prevent contamination claims at customs
