Import Tips
• Include flash point and pour point certifications; heating oils must exceed 38°C flash point for safety
• State sulfur via independent lab analysis; mismatches lead to reclassification or penalties
• Check state-specific sulfur regs (e.g
• NY ultra-low); federal HTS prevails but local use affects labeling
