Import Tips
• Provide blending recipes or refiner affidavits confirming use as cutter stock for classification support
• Test for olefin content; high levels may require reclassification if resembling cracked distillates
• Ensure bills of lading specify 'Fuel Blending Component Only' to prevent diversion claims
