Import Tips

• Verify fuel meets ASTM D1655 Jet A-1 specs via lab testing certificates before import to ensure classification under 2710.19.16.00

• Obtain FAA or ICAO approval documentation and arrange specialized storage tanks compliant with DOT hazardous material regulations

• Avoid misclassification by confirming no biodiesel content (>70% petroleum oils required); common pitfall is blending errors
