Import Tips & Compliance

• Include crude assay data showing kerosene cut (180-235°C) to validate against naphtha or gasoil

• Certify no hydrotreatment; treated products may qualify as different blendstocks

• Prepare for sulfur testing; high sulfur (>500 ppm) may invoke additional fuel quality regs
