Import Tips
• Classify precisely as elemental vs compound to avoid audits; arsenic trioxide is typically 2811.29—double-check documentation
• Require fumigation certificates if for wood treatment and comply with FIFRA for pesticides
• Use Class 6.1 poison packaging; pitfall is insufficient spill containment plans for ports
