Import Tips

Verify sulfur content certification via ASTM D5453 testing to confirm 15-500 ppm range for HTS 2710.20.10.03 classification

Include biodiesel percentage documentation as it must contain biodiesel per the heading; ensure EPA fuel certification for U.S. entry

Avoid misclassification by checking viscosity and API gravity; common pitfall is confusing with higher sulfur diesel under 2710.19
