Import Tips

• Verify purity certificate (typically >99%) to confirm classification as chemically defined compound per Chapter 29 note (a)

• Include safety data sheets (SDS) documenting non-flammability and low toxicity for customs clearance

• Avoid misclassification as refrigerant gas mixtures which may fall under Chapter 27 if containing hydrocarbons
