Import Tips
• Include ASTM D1655 test reports showing distillation range 150-300°C to validate jet fuel classification
• Declare volume in barrels (158.98 liters at 15.6°C) per US note for accurate duty calculation
• Partner with certified handlers for spill prevention plans, as common pitfalls include improper hazmat labeling
