Import Tips

• Obtain Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming volatile matter, distillation specs per ISO 3405, and hydrocarbon composition to verify classification; ensure MSDS includes flash point and purity for DOT compliance; common pitfall is misclassifying as general lubricant oils under 2710.19 if not proven insulating
