Import Tips
• 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
