Import Tips & Compliance

Include fractionation process documentation to distinguish from fully refined oil and support fraction status

Ensure fatty acid profile tests confirm no chemical interesterification, which would change classification

Use IV (iodine value) specifications in invoices to aid customs in verifying olein purity
