Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the purification process and provide a certificate of analysis showing purity to demonstrate it is a separate chemically defined compound
• Be aware of Canada's ozone-depleting substances regulations, as HFC-23 is a potent greenhouse gas
• Confirm whether an environmental import permit is required before shipping
