Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the product is a separate chemically defined compound, as Chapter 29 excludes mixtures unless they are isomers of the same compound
• If the product is for research or analytical use, keep documentation of the intended purpose
• Ensure the product is not put up in measured doses or for retail sale, which would change classification per Section VI Note 2
