Import Tips
• Verify fatty acid composition via GC-MS analysis to confirm oleic acid content exceeds 50% for proper classification
• Include Certificate of Analysis (CoA) showing purity and absence of Chapter 15 exclusions like crude glycerol
• Avoid misclassification as soapstocks (HTS 1518) by ensuring product is free fatty acid, not emulsified
