Import Tips
• Include FDA-compliant documentation if any trace use in cosmetics, but emphasize denaturation for non-ingestible status
• Test for peroxide values to ensure stability; customs may sample for rancidity
• Avoid retail packaging, as bulk industrial shipments are standard to match this classification
