Import Tips
• Require DOT special permits for cryogenic liquid hydrogen transport with double-wall vacuum-insulated containers
• Provide boil-off rate calculations and pressure relief valve specifications in import documentation
• ITAR restrictions may apply for aerospace end-use; coordinate with export controls
