Ocean Freight and Import of R-22 Refrigerant (High-Pressure Gas)

Question

I am planning to purchase approximately 10 pallets of R-22 refrigerant from overseas and transport them domestically. Since the refrigerant is classified as high-pressure gas, I am wondering if it cannot be transported through general logistics companies. If that is the case, I would like to know if I need to find a separate freight forwarder capable of handling such goods.

According to the information provided, the cargo is classified as a dangerous good corresponding to **UN1018 Chlorodifluoromethane (Refrigerant Gas R-22), Division 2.2**. Therefore, when transporting by sea, you must proceed with packaging, marking/labeling, and documentation in accordance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code). When importing dangerous goods, we recommend selecting a service provider with a high level of expertise in the transportation of hazardous materials.
