Import Tips

• Confirm the product is not a separate chemically defined compound, as these are excluded from Chapter 34

• Provide test results demonstrating surface tension reduction to support the classification

• If the product is used as a dyeing auxiliary, consider whether it might be classified under Chapter 32 instead
