Import Tips & Compliance
• Document biodiesel percentage and fatty acid ester composition to validate 'biodiesel' per chapter definition
• Prepare for customs scrutiny on blending ratios to prevent misclassification as waste oils
• Register with biofuel import programs if applicable for duty exemptions or credits
