Import Tips & Compliance

Verify lead content documentation and ensure compliance with EPA fuel regulations, as leaded gasoline is restricted in the US

Provide certificates of analysis confirming 90%+ distillation at 210°C and >70% petroleum oils to avoid misclassification

Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect labeling as unleaded; use specialized storage to prevent contamination during transit
