Import Tips
• Verify sulfur content via ISO 20846 or ASTM D5453 testing to confirm compliance with 15-500 ppm limit; non-compliance risks reclassification or penalties
• Include detailed certificates of analysis showing A.P.I. gravity, viscosity, and sulfur levels in entry documentation for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as crude oil; ensure bills of lading specify refined distillate status
