Import Tips
• Provide API gravity test reports from accredited labs using ASTM D287 method to confirm sub-25° classification
• Include generator facility waste manifests and chain-of-custody records for customs clearance
• Avoid pitfalls by segregating from higher API wastes that may shift to 2710.99.10
