Import Tips
• Submit gas chromatography reports confirming ethane >90% to Customs for binding ruling requests
• Coordinate with licensed customs brokers experienced in energy imports; ensure INCO terms match FOB loading specs
• Avoid valuation disputes by documenting arm's-length pricing from NGL producers; common error is transfer pricing issues
