Import Tips & Compliance

Test for aromatic/non-aromatic ratio using HPLC analysis to substantiate 2707.99 classification over 2710 petroleum oils

Include end-user verification from carbon black manufacturer in import documentation to justify specific subheading

Monitor flash point (typically <60°C) for proper IMDG Class 3 packaging and labeling requirements
