Import Tips
• Verify hydrocarbon composition via lab analysis to confirm no single compound exceeds 50% by weight for proper classification
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and flash point certifications in documentation to avoid misclassification as flammable liquids
• Check for REACH compliance if sourced from EU; common pitfall is incorrect viscosity grading leading to wrong subheading
