Import Tips & Compliance
• Importing CFC-115 for legacy systems requires an ozone-depleting substance permit; document the end-use to justify the import
• The CBSA may require proof that the refrigerant is not intended for new equipment, which is prohibited
• Verify the age and condition of the equipment being serviced to support the legacy system claim
