Import Tips
• Obtain TSCA pre-manufacture notice if new to US inventory; confirm existing listing for HCFC-225 isomers
• Declare exact isomer (225ca vs 225cb) on entry documents to match precise HTS subheading 2903.75.01.00
• Watch for anti-dumping duties or phase-down tariffs on ozone-depleting substances; check current Commerce Dept. orders
