Import Tips & Compliance

Provide distillation process documentation proving coal tar origin to avoid Chapter 29 reclassification

Label containers with UN 1671 hazard code and ensure spill containment compliance

Test for volatile impurities; common pitfall is exceeding aromatic/non-aromatic ratio limits
