Import Tips
• Include biotech production affidavits; common error is classifying as vegetable oil from plant-fermented yeast
• For industrial use, note end-use on entry; bulk shipments need proper hazardous material declarations if applicable
• Monitor statistical notes for milk solids—irrelevant here but ensures no dairy misclassification
