Import Tips
• Verify that the R-12 is perhalogenated (no hydrogen atoms) to qualify for this tariff item; otherwise, a different classification may apply
• Ensure compliance with Canada's ozone-depleting substances regulations, as R-12 is controlled and may require permits from Environment and Climate Change Canada before importation
• Declare the exact chemical composition on the customs invoice to avoid CBSA reclassification
