Import Tips
• Obtain lab analysis confirming propylene purity >90% to avoid reclassification as a mixture
• Declare exact volume in barrels (158.98 liters at 15.6°C) per US note for accurate duty calculation
• Include end-use certificates if destined for chemical manufacturing to qualify for potential duty reductions
