Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the PFC content and confirm absence of CFCs/HCFCs in the mixture's specification sheet for 3827.59.00 classification
• Ensure the product is declared as a mixture, not a pure perfluorocarbon, to avoid Chapter 29 classification
• Provide the safety data sheet to CBSA for hazardous materials handling
