Import Tips

Label with precise 'wholly hydrogenated' terminology to distinguish from 'fully refined' which might revert to 1516

Prepare for FDA GRAS affirmation documentation since used in direct food contact

Avoid bulk packaging over 25kg drums if retail-destined, as it may trigger set classifications
