Import Tips
• Verify sulfur content certification via ASTM D5453 testing to confirm ≤15 ppm compliance for entry under this subheading
• Include biodiesel percentage documentation if blended, as this subheading applies only to preparations with ≥70% petroleum oils
• Avoid misclassification as higher sulfur fuels (e.g
• 2710.20.10.04); common pitfall is incomplete viscosity/Saybolt documentation
