Import Tips
• 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
