Import Tips
• Provide average molecular weight and sulfonation degree; >450 avg MW may trigger Chapter 27 review
• Oil content <30% required; higher suggests Chapter 27 classification as petroleum derivative
• Batch certificates must specify 'mahogany' vs 'green' sulfonates for proper identification
