Import Tips
• Verify refinement process documentation to confirm no chemical modification, as that shifts classification to Chapter 15 headings like 1515.90
• Include certificates of analysis showing peroxide value and free fatty acid content to prove purity standards for food-grade imports
• Label clearly as 'refined corn oil' to avoid misclassification as crude oil under 1515.21.00
