Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate (typically >99%) and provide Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) as it's hazardous (toxic and corrosive)
• Ensure packaging complies with UN standards for corrosive solids (Class 8); declare as 'chemically defined' per Chapter 28 notes
• Avoid misclassification as selenium metal (2804.90); check for contaminants that could shift to 2842 complex salts
