Import Tips
• Provide fatty acid profile (oleic >70%) and rosin certificate; CBP may sample for verification
• Label as 'industrial grade, not for food' to prevent reclassification under edible oil codes
• Avoid bulk shipments without segregation from high-rosin tall oil to prevent contamination/misclassification
