Import Tips
• Verify purity and refinement process documentation to confirm it is not chemically modified, avoiding reclassification
• Provide certificate of origin and lab analysis for fatty acid content to comply with FDA food import standards
• Label containers clearly with 'sesame oil' and allergen warnings, as sesame is a major allergen under U.S. regulations
