Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide racing sanctioning body approvals (FIA/IMS) and independent boil point certifications
• Hazard class UN1164; segregate from water-based fluids during storage/shipping
• Avoid generic 'fluid' declarations; specify racing hydraulic use to prevent lubricant confusion
