Import Tips

Provide MARPOL Annex VI sulfur content certification; exceeding limits triggers environmental penalties

Declare exact biodiesel percentage as it affects base oil constituent calculation for 70% threshold

Use ISO 8217 test methods for viscosity verification to prevent disputes during customs inspection
