Import Tips
• The nitromethane stabilizer does not change the tariff classification, but you must declare it on the commercial invoice
• Because 1,1,1-trichloroethane is an ozone-depleting substance, obtain the required import permit from Environment and Climate Change Canada before shipping
• Keep records of the stabilizer concentration to demonstrate compliance with safety transport regulations
