Import Tips
• Verify refining processes do not involve chemical modification to avoid reclassification under Chapter 15 headings for modified oils
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming palm kernel origin and refinement level for customs valuation
• Label shipments clearly as 'palm kernel oil, refined' to prevent misclassification as crude oil under 1513.21
