Import Tips
• Submit viscosity and density tests (ASTM D445/D1298) to substantiate API gravity under 25 degrees and residual nature
• Monitor for water/sediment content (<1%) with lab reports to avoid waste oil classification under 2710.91
• Declare in metric tons or barrels accurately, as density variations affect volume-to-weight conversions for duty assessment
