Import Tips
• Declare end-use as biodiesel to access potential statistical breaks or exemptions; provide buyer contracts
• Test for free fatty acid content—excessive levels may reclassify as lower-quality residues
• EU-sourced colza often needs GOTS or organic certification if marketed as sustainable feedstock
