Import Tips

Obtain a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying naphtha-type composition and distillation properties per ISO 3405 to confirm classification under 2710.12.1520

Comply with FAA and TSA regulations for importing aviation fuels, including proper labeling as 'Jet Fuel' and storage in approved containers

Avoid misclassification as kerosene-type jet fuel (2710.12.1545); test volatile matter to distinguish naphtha blends
