Import Tips
• Obtain DOT approval for pressurized gas cylinders and ensure UN 1011 classification for butane
• Provide certificate of analysis confirming butane purity >95% and absence of propane to avoid reclassification
• Declare net weight accurately; common pitfall is mislabeling as 'camping fuel' which may trigger different regs
