Import Tips
• Verify sulfur content via ISO 8754 testing to confirm >500 ppm and avoid misclassification to lower sulfur subheadings
• Provide certificates of analysis detailing API gravity, viscosity, and distillation profile for CBP review
• Ensure proper documentation of non-biodiesel content to prevent reclassification under biodiesel exclusions
