Import Tips
• Highlight low sulfur and high cetane in COA to support premium pricing and RIN generation
• Verify non-GMO status if targeting organic markets; common error is missing oxidative stability index (OSI) testing
• Use ISCC certification for marginal land crop claims to enhance biofuel policy compliance
