Import Tips

• Verify alcoholic strength via lab testing at 20°C to confirm ≥80% vol. and undenatured status; provide certificates of analysis to CBP

• Include end-use declarations specifying fuel applications to avoid reclassification as industrial solvent; common pitfall is missing fuel-specific documentation

• Ensure compliance with EPA fuel additive registrations and ASTM D4806 purity standards for biofuel imports
