Import Tips
• Declare net volume in barrels (158.98 liters at 15.6°C) as per US notes; use calibrated tanks for accuracy
• Provide origin certificates to qualify for preferential tariffs; check for anti-dumping duties on certain propane sources
• Ensure containers meet UN pressure vessel standards; common pitfall is insufficient vapor pressure documentation
