Import Tips
• Include propane composition certificate from supplier; US Customs requires proof of ≥90% purity for this exact subheading
• Check for pipeline vs. truck transport approvals; bulk imports need EPA pre-notification for hazardous materials
• Label containers per 49 CFR 172; failure to specify UN 1978 (Propane) leads to entry delays
