Import Tips

• Verify composition via lab analysis to confirm >50% xylenes and aromatic dominance per subheading note for 2707.30

• Obtain Certificates of Analysis (COA) from suppliers documenting distillation origin and purity to avoid reclassification

• Declare in kilograms; watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as petroleum-derived, which shifts to Chapter 27 heading 2707.99
