Import Tips
• Verify propane purity exceeds 90% to confirm classification under 2711.12; obtain lab analysis certificates for customs
• Ship in DOT-approved pressure vessels or ISO tanks; include safety data sheets (SDS) and ensure compliance with PHMSA regulations
• Avoid misdeclaration as butane mixtures (2711.13), which changes duty; measure volume at 15.6°C per chapter notes
