Import Tips

• Obtain EPA certification and Montreal Protocol compliance documentation as Halon-1211 is ozone-depleting and import-restricted

• Provide detailed chemical purity analysis and safety data sheets (SDS) to verify classification as a pure compound

• Avoid misclassification as fire extinguishers (HTS 8424); import as bulk chemical only, not assembled equipment
