Import Tips
• Provide processing certificates detailing inter-esterification method to distinguish from simple refined oils in 1515
• Label with exact fat composition; FDA prior notice required for food-grade imports
• Avoid declaring as 'edible oil' without specs—Customs may classify as further prepared if not purely rapeseed-derived
