Import Tips
• Submit proof of undenatured status and fuel end-use affidavits; denaturation post-import can trigger reclassification penalties
• Comply with Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) pathway documentation; pitfall is inadequate traceability for RIN generation
• Label containers clearly as 'Fuel Use Only' to prevent diversion to taxable non-fuel uses
