Import Tips
• Provide RIN (Renewable Identification Number) generation documentation if claiming biofuel credits
• Test for water content (<1%) and impurities per fuel specs; common rejection reason is failing denaturant concentration requirements
• Maintain 5-year records proving fuel use to validate preferential tariff claim under general note 35
