Liquefied Propane Gas (LPG)

Liquefied propane gas is a flammable hydrocarbon gas stored under pressure as a liquid, primarily used for heating, cooking, and as a vehicle fuel. It falls under HTS 2711.19.00 as 'other' liquefied petroleum gases, distinct from natural gas or specific named gases like ethylene.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify the gas composition via lab analysis to confirm it meets 'other' LPG criteria under 2711.19.00, avoiding misclassification as natural gas

β€’ Obtain safety data sheets (SDS) and ensure DOT-compliant cylinders or tanks for transport

β€’ Check for country-specific quotas or energy import licenses, as LPG may face supply restrictions
