Import Tips
• Verify biodiesel content certification and ensure the fuel meets ASTM D1655 Jet A-1 specifications for customs compliance
• Obtain FAA or ICAO approval documents; improper documentation can lead to reclassification as general petroleum oil
• Declare exact flash point and freezing point to avoid penalties for mislabeling as non-jet fuel
