Import Tips
• Obtain waste management certifications and hazardous waste manifests to comply with EPA regulations for importing used oils
• Verify oil composition via lab analysis to confirm it qualifies as waste lubricating oil under 70% petroleum threshold
• Avoid misclassification as non-waste oils; contaminated used oil cannot be re-entered as virgin lubricants
