Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the purity and isomer specification of your HCFC-124 shipment, as the CBSA may require a certificate of analysis
• Check whether your import is subject to Canada's Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, which may require a permit from Environment and Climate Change Canada before clearance
• Ensure the product is properly labelled with its chemical name and CAS number on the commercial invoice
