Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure proper UN classification (UN 1307) for hazardous material shipping

Verify purity certificate to confirm >50% m-xylene content per subheading note; non-compliance may lead to reclassification

Declare exact chemical composition and CAS number (108-38-3) to avoid customs holds on aromatic hydrocarbons
