Import Tips

• Comply with IATA/49 CFR packing instructions for Division 2.3 poison gases; include cryogenic handling certifications

• Declare exact purity (>99%) to avoid reclassification; pitfall is failing to specify physical state on commercial invoice

• Insure against spontaneous combustion risks; use facilities with fluorine-compatible piping
