Import Tips

• Verify purity certificate (typically >99.8%) to confirm classification as elemental iodine, avoiding reclassification as compounds

• Include Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) due to toxicity and volatility; comply with DOT hazardous material shipping regulations

• Avoid packaging that could lead to misclassification as iodine solution (HTS 2843.29), which requires liquid state documentation
