Import Tips
• Confirm the alkyl chain length and purity to ensure it matches the description of linear alkylbenzene sulphonic acids
• Keep records of the manufacturing process to demonstrate it is not a separate chemically defined compound, which would be excluded from Chapter 34
• Check if the product is intended for retail sale, as this may affect classification
