Import Tips
• Include bleaching process details and color specifications in entry docs to support 'refined or colored' status
• Test for triglyceride content (<5%) to avoid misclassification into vegetable oil headings
• Use proper packaging to prevent contamination, as customs may inspect for adulteration
