Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming dry/wet boiling points >230°C/155°C for DOT 4 validation
• Label containers with UN 1164 hazard class and ensure child-resistant packaging compliance
• Test petroleum content to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is incomplete additive disclosure
