Opteon 1100 HFC-1233zd Foam Expellant from Mexico
Opteon 1100 is a foam expansion agent based on trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFC-1233zd), used to produce extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation boards with a low global warming potential. It is a mixture of halogenated propane derivatives that does not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and is not elsewhere specified or included, so it falls under tariff item 3827.69.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the product's technical data sheet clearly states it contains no CFCs or HCFCs, as this determines classification under 3827.69.00 rather than other subheadings
• Provide the importer's declaration of the exact chemical composition to the CBSA to support the tariff classification
• Check if the product requires an environmental import permit under Canada's Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations, even if it is a low-GWP alternative
