Import Tips

Verify distillation profile per ISO 3405 (90%+ at 210°C) and petroleum content (>70% by weight) via lab testing for accurate classification

Obtain refinery certificates of analysis detailing octane number and composition to support entry documentation and avoid reclassification

Ensure compliance with EPA fuel regulations; common pitfall is mislabeling as finished motor fuel under 2710.12.15
