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
