Import Tips

• Verify benzene purity exceeds 50% by weight via lab analysis to confirm classification under 2707.10

• Obtain proper hazardous material documentation (e.g

• MSDS) and comply with DOT/UN shipping regulations for flammable liquids

• Avoid misclassification as petroleum-derived benzene, which falls under Chapter 27 heading 2710
