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
