Import Tips
• Include extraction method details in commercial invoice to confirm crude, non-chemically modified status
• FFA levels above 5% typically confirm crudeness; lower may trigger review for 1513.29 classification
• Adhere to EU deforestation regulations (EUDR) with geolocation traceability for palm kernel imports
