Import Tips
• Submit stability and emulsion test results proving liquid state maintained with >45% butterfat for accurate heading placement
• Ensure invoices specify 'butter substitute' to differentiate from dairy liquids under 0405 or oils in 1509
• Avoid misdeclaration as cooking oil; milkfat predominance is key to prevent shifts to lower-duty vegetable oil codes
