Include hydrolysis process documentation to prove fructose derivation and compliance with subheading specs

Avoid retail-ready packaging; import in totes for industrial use to fit Chapter 17 exclusions

Track polarity and dry weight certifications; deviations risk shifting to lower fructose headings
