Import Tips

• Conduct density tests per ASTM standards pre-shipment to confirm sub-25° A.P.I.; discrepancies lead to audits

• Provide blending ratios and origin certificates for biodiesel to trace fatty acid esters compliance

• Avoid common error of bulk packaging mislabeling; use UN-approved tanks for IMO hazardous goods
