Import Tips
• Verify that the product is pure monochlorotetrafluoroethane and not mixed with other substances, as Chapter 29 covers only separate chemically defined compounds
• Check if the HCFC-124 requires an import permit under Canada's Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations before shipping
• Declare the correct end-use (foam blowing) to avoid misclassification as a refrigerant
