Import Tips

• Verify hydrogenation level through lab analysis (iodine value <5) to confirm classification under 1517.90.90.85 and avoid reclassification as partially hydrogenated oils

• Provide certificates of analysis detailing fatty acid profile and absence of trans fats to meet FDA labeling requirements for edible fats

• Ensure packaging labels specify 'wholly hydrogenated' and origin to prevent pitfalls with general vegetable fat headings
