Import Tips & Compliance

Verify purity certification via lab analysis reports meeting the 90-94% liquid volume threshold to avoid reclassification

Ensure cylinders comply with DOT pressure vessel regulations and include proper UN hazmat labeling for gaseous fuels

Declare exact volume and purity on entry documents; common pitfall is misstating as higher purity butane
