Import Tips
• If importing the pure PPO powder, declare it separately from any plastic scintillator sheets, which would be classified under Chapter 39
• Provide the exact purity and any stabilizers added, as stabilizers may affect classification
• Check if the end-use in radiation detection requires any special import permits
