Import Tips
• 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
