Import Tips
• Obtain EPA import allocation certificates as HCFC-22 production is banned; only reclamation or limited imports allowed
• Label cylinders with UN1018 markings and include purity certificates to prevent reclassification as waste or mixtures
• Check country-specific bans; some origins prohibited under Montreal Protocol amendments
