Import Tips
• Provide GC-MS analysis reports to CBP proving xylene isomer composition and >50% threshold
• Declare correct CAS number (95-47-6 for ortho-xylene) and ensure IMDG Class 3 labeling for sea transport
• Watch for reclassification if sold in retail packs; bulk industrial shipments stay in 2707
