Import Tips
• Document the solvent (ethanol) and its purpose (safety or transport) on the commercial invoice to support classification under Note 1(e)
• Ensure the solvent does not make the product suitable for a specific use, such as a beverage
• Verify that the ethanol content does not trigger separate classification under Chapter 22
