Import Tips
• Verify ethanol is denatured per 27 CFR 21 and blended within RFG limits; retain batch certificates
• Classify based on volume percent oxygenate; common error is under-declaring ethanol leading to penalties
• Use DOT-approved containers and follow HAZMAT shipping rules for flammable liquids
