Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify propane purity and gaseous state documentation to confirm classification under 2711.29; provide lab analysis if volatile matter exceeds limits
• Ensure DOT-compliant cylinders or bulk transport certifications; common pitfall is mislabeling as butane leading to reclassification
• Declare volume in barrels (158.98 liters at 15.6°C) per US note for accurate duty calculation
