Import Tips
• Verify gas composition meets natural gas standards (primarily methane) via lab analysis certificates to avoid reclassification
• Obtain pipeline interconnection approvals and ensure compliance with PHMSA regulations for high-pressure gas transport
• Declare volume in cubic meters at standard conditions; common pitfall is incorrect temperature/pressure adjustments
