Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the torch is not a self-contained unit with an integrated gas cylinder, as that may affect classification
• Check if the propane cylinder is included; if so, it may need separate clearance under dangerous goods regulations
• Keep documentation showing the torch's primary function is welding or brazing, not heating
