Import Tips
• Include fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content analysis to prove biodiesel presence per subheading definitions
• Label containers with exact viscosity, API gravity, and sulfur specs to prevent inspection delays at ports
• Register for EPA renewable fuel standard credits if claiming biodiesel import benefits
