Import Tips
• Label clearly as inedible if high erucic acid to avoid FDA food import scrutiny; include fatty acid profile analysis
• Ensure no solvent residues from extraction; customs may require purity certificates for crude status
• Track country of origin—EU rapeseed oils often qualify for preferential tariffs under trade agreements
