Import Tips & Compliance

• Document dispenser components separately if imported as accessories to avoid parts classification under 8418.99

• Test for CFC/HFC compliance; provide refrigerant type declaration to clear EPA customs holds

• Use precise model-specific volume data from manufacturer; rounded cu ft conversions often cause disputes
