Import Tips
• Submit mill test reports certifying viscosity, pour point, and sediment content to validate against No. 6 crossover
• For rail or pipeline imports, ensure carrier manifests specify 'Fuel Oil No. 5' to match HTS declaration
• Avoid pitfalls by excluding water/sediment >2% which could trigger waste oil classification under 2710.91
