Import Tips
• Verify microbial origin certification and provide production process documentation to confirm classification under 1515.60.05.00
• Ensure fractions meet 'not chemically modified' criteria; include lab analysis if refined beyond simple physical processes
• Label accurately for food-grade use; common pitfall is misclassifying as animal-derived under Chapter 15 headings
