Import Tips

Verify xylene content exceeds 50% by weight via lab analysis to confirm classification under 2707.30.00; provide certificates of analysis

Ensure proper hazardous material documentation (e.g

MSDS, UN numbers for flammable liquids) for DOT and CBP compliance

Avoid misclassification as petroleum solvents (2710); coal tar origin must be documented to prevent reclassification
