Import Tips
• Provide a safety data sheet (SDS) for rubidium with your customs documentation, as CBSA may request it for hazardous materials
• Verify that the dispenser's design meets Canadian electrical and pressure standards if it is part of a vacuum system
• Label the shipment as UN 1423 (rubidium) and ensure the dispenser is not refillable to avoid reclassification
