Import Tips
• Differentiate pressing vs solvent extraction in docs, as both qualify as crude if unrefined
• Test for GMO content if from GM canola varieties to meet labeling laws in import markets
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'virgin' which implies minimal processing, risking refined classification
