Import Tips
• Verify oil's erucic acid content via lab testing to confirm it's not low-erucic canola (1514.91.10); misclassification leads to penalties
• Provide certificates of origin and extraction method documentation; crude oil must show no refining processes
• Comply with FDA prior notice requirements for edible oils entering the US food chain
