Import Tips
• Verify concentration and purity via Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm classification as hydrobromic acid under Chapter 28
• Ensure DOT/UN packaging compliance (UN 1788) with proper Hazard Class 8 labels for corrosive liquids
• Avoid misclassification as bromide salts; provide lab test results if purity questioned by CBP
