Fuel Emergency declaration

If I see I am down to 30 minutes or less planned landing fuel, I am declaring an emergency to ATC. My own choice? No - my company's operating manual gives that direction. But I will and have declared a "minimum fuel" situation to ATC prior to that, at around 45 minutes fuel remaining - perhaps that is an FAA only procedure.
