Import Tips
• Certify volatile matter content if any coal-like impurities to distinguish from Chapter 27 coal products
• File entries in barrel units exclusively; metric ton conversions can trigger audits
• Coordinate with US refiners for just-in-time delivery to minimize storage tariff implications
