Import Tips
• Submit Form 3520-1 Significant New Use Rule notification for HBFC solvents to EPA prior to import
• Label containers with HBFC content and ozone depletion potential per 40 CFR Part 82 regulations
• Avoid misclassification as general solvents (3814); document specific HBFC composition to prevent reclassification
