Import Tips

Provide bunker delivery notes and sulfur test reports (ASTM D4294) to prove compliance with 15-500 ppm range

Confirm no biodiesel blending, as that redirects to 2710.19.20; label clearly as petroleum-based

Adhere to MARPOL Annex VI for marine fuels; USCG approval may be needed for vessel use
