Import Tips

• Provide manufacturer's certification of petroleum content and NLGI consistency grade to prove it's a grease under this code

• Ensure no biodiesel content, as those greases shift to 2710.19.20; test blends if source is unclear

• Label containers with flash point and viscosity data to comply with DOT hazmat regs during import
