Import Tips

Verify the exact composition percentages of each oil to confirm classification as an artificial mixture under heading 1517, providing lab analysis certificates if requested by customs

Ensure labeling complies with FDA food import regulations, including nutritional facts and allergen declarations for retail sale

Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as a single oil type, which could shift it to headings 1509 or 1514; include blending records in documentation
