Import Tips
• > Ensure the bromomethane is purified and meets the chemical definition of methyl bromide under Chapter 29; impurities that alter its essential character could lead to reclassification
• Provide a safety data sheet (SDS) and clearly label the product as a refrigerant to expedite CBSA clearance
• Verify whether the product requires an import permit under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations, as methyl bromide is controlled in Canada
