Import Tips

Verify the degree of hydrogenation via lab analysis to confirm classification under 1517, as fully hydrogenated products may shift to other subheadings

Include detailed certificates of analysis showing partial hydrogenation and fat composition to avoid misclassification as margarine

Ensure labeling complies with FDA trans fat disclosure rules to prevent customs holds on health claim violations
