Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify Panama origin documentation per general note 35 and denaturation certificate proving fuel use suitability
• Include end-use statement confirming fuel blending or mixture production; common pitfall is missing ASTM compliance testing
• Ensure proper storage/segregation from beverage alcohol to avoid reclassification under chapter 22 beverage provisions
