Import Tips
• Verify sulfur content certification via lab testing (ASTM D5453) to confirm ≤15 ppm compliance before entry
• Include Bill of Lading specifying A.P.I. gravity and Saybolt viscosity; avoid misclassification as higher sulfur diesel
• Ensure proper storage to prevent contamination, as exceeding 15 ppm post-import can lead to penalties
