Import Tips & Compliance
• Because ethylene brassylate is technically an ester, verify whether the ether function is present; if not, consider alternative headings
• Provide a laboratory analysis to support classification under 2909.30.00
• If the product is diluted for perfumery, ensure the solvent does not make it suitable for a specific use
