Import Tips

• Obtain material safety data sheets (MSDS) and purity certificates to verify classification as chemically defined rare gas under Chapter 28

• Comply with DOT and PHMSA regulations for compressed gas cylinders, including proper labeling and pressure testing documentation

• Avoid misclassification as mixed gases (HTS 3824); declare exact purity to prevent customs holds
