Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Ship under UN 2474 with refrigeration if required; check temperature-controlled storage declarations

โ€ข Provide REACH or TSCA pre-manufacture notices for U.S. entry; pitfall is missing impurity thresholds

โ€ข Label as 'research chemical only' to avoid end-use scrutiny
