Import Tips
• Verify compliance with USP purity standards and provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) to confirm hydrocarbon mixture specs
• Ensure proper labeling as 'white mineral oil' and check for any FDA prior notice requirements if destined for food/pharma use
• Avoid misclassification as lubricating oil by confirming it's not primarily for machinery lubrication
