Import Tips
• Use independent lab assays for API, sulfur, and Vanadium content to support entry and meet Clean Air Act permits
• Ship in IMO Type 2/3 tankers suitable for heavy oils to prevent contamination and classification disputes
• Track excise tax applicability; some states treat heavy fuels differently from lighter distillates
