Import Tips
• Verify distillation profile meets light oils criteria (90%+ at 210°C ISO 3405) via lab testing for accurate classification
• Provide commercial invoices specifying non-motor fuel use and >70% petroleum oil content to avoid reclassification as fuels
• Ensure SDS includes flash point and composition to comply with HAZMAT shipping regulations for flammable liquids
