Import Tips
• Verify animal origin certification and ensure it's not a medicinal preparation to avoid reclassification under Chapter 30
• Provide lab analysis confirming it's not hardened protein (heading 3913) or a printing gelatin (Chapter 49)
• Label clearly as food-grade to prevent customs holds; common pitfall is mislabeling as industrial glue
