Import Tips
• Include ISO viscosity grade certifications and API steam cylinder oil specifications in import documentation
• Prevent duty avoidance schemes by accurately declaring as steam-specific rather than general lubricant
• Bulk shipments require precise measurement in barrels (158.98L at 15.6°C) per Chapter 27 notes
