Import Tips

• Verify compliance with EPA Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and obtain necessary certifications as 1,1,1-trichloroethane is regulated due to ozone depletion potential

• Include detailed purity analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in documentation to confirm classification as methylchloroform under Chapter 29

• Avoid misclassification by ensuring product is not pre-mixed for retail consumer use, which could shift to Chapter 38 headings
