Germanium Hydride from United States
Germane (GeH4) is a colorless, pyrophoric gas used for semiconductor vapor deposition. It is classified under tariff item 2811.19.00 as an 'other inorganic acid' because it is a hydride of the nonmetal germanium and meets the Chapter 28 definition of a separate chemically defined compound, provided it is not doped.

Import Tips
• Germane is pyrophoric and highly toxic; you must comply with Transport Canada dangerous goods regulations and use the proper UN number (UN 2192)
• The CBSA may require proof that the germane is undoped, as doped forms for electronics are classified elsewhere
• Check whether an import permit is required under Canadian chemical control regulations
