Import Tips
• Provide EN 14214 or ASTM D6751 test results to confirm biodiesel specifications and B100 status
• Document rapeseed origin for EU sustainability certifications like ISCC if claiming renewable credits
• Check for oxidation stability additives; excess may trigger chemical mixture classification issues
