Import Tips
• Ensure supplier provides fatty acid profile to distinguish from single-fat products and support 1517 classification
• Comply with USDA import permits if any animal fat traces present; label as 'vegetable oil blend' accurately
• Avoid common error of bulk packaging misclassified as industrial oils—specify edible use in entry docs
