Import Tips

• Provide GC/MS test results showing ≥99% glycerol content to avoid mixture classification in 3824

• Label as 'vegetable glycerin' but include chemical composition to confirm it's not crude (excluded per Chapter 29)

• For food/cosmetic use, ensure FDA prior notice and GRAS documentation alongside CBP entry
