Import Tips
• Obtain a Certificate of Analysis verifying hydrocarbon composition to confirm <50% single compound and ≥70% petroleum oils
• Ensure compliance with US EPA fuel quality standards and provide sulfur content documentation for customs clearance
• Avoid misclassification as crude oil (2709) by proving it is a refined product; common pitfall is inadequate flash point testing
