Import Tips
• Provide bills of lading specifying bulk crude form to avoid misclassification as retail packaged
• Ensure fatty acid profile documentation to distinguish from canola (low erucic) under 1514.91.10
• Label containers clearly as 'crude oil' to prevent confusion with fractions or refined products
