Import Tips
• Include FCC certificate and heavy metals analysis (<10ppm) required for food entry
• Specify 'food grade' on commercial invoice; bulk shipments risk reclassification as industrial chemical
• Ensure kosher/halal certifications if targeting specialty markets to facilitate FDA prior notice
