Import Tips
• Verify distillation properties via ISO 3405 testing to confirm 90%+ at 210°C for light oils classification
• Obtain certificates of origin and ensure compliance with EPA fuel standards and Clean Air Act regulations
• Avoid misclassification as biodiesel blends; test for fatty acid methyl esters if preparations are involved
