Import Tips
• Verify exact fat composition via lab analysis to confirm ≥5% soybean oil for proper HTS classification
• Provide certificates of analysis documenting sources from headings 1501-1515 to avoid reclassification
• Label products clearly as edible mixtures; avoid 'pure oil' claims that could shift to other headings
