Who Must Report: Only retailers who sell to commercial or residential heating consumers need to file. If all of the retail sales of #2 dyed fuel are for non-heating purposes, no report is necessary If the importer of record into the U.S. is not a prime supplier listed on the exclusionary list, that person (importer) must submit the report and fees directly on all sales which would be reported by a prime supplier.
