Import Tips
• Provide GC-MS analysis confirming methyl ester content >70% to distinguish from regular vegetable oils
• Label containers with flash point warnings as required for flammable liquid imports under HAZMAT regulations
• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying as lubricants (2710) by documenting non-petroleum base and specific solvent end-use
