Import Tips
• Submit refinery assay reports confirming aromatic content and kerosene range (180-240°C) to support blending stock claim
• Label containers clearly as 'Motor Fuel Blending Stock - Not for Retail Sale' to prevent misclassification as consumer kerosene
• Monitor sulfur content (<10 ppm typical) as exceeding limits may trigger environmental compliance issues under EPA rules
