Import Tips
• Obtain EPA Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) approval and ensure mixture composition certification to verify ≥30% HFC-134a content
• Comply with AIM Act HFC import quotas; provide K-139 certificate from supplier confirming no CFCs/HCFCs and HFO content below threshold
• Label cylinders with exact mass percentages and GWP; avoid misclassification by confirming no dominant unsaturated HFOs
