Import Tips
• Provide DoD or NATO fuel specification certificates; military imports often require ITAR compliance
• Test for anti-icing additives presence to confirm jet fuel status and prevent reclassification
• Use bulk tanker manifests with precise volume measurements at 15.6°C for accurate duty calculation
