Import Tips

Obtain EPA approvals and TSCA registration prior to import due to arsenic toxicity; provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

Ensure packaging complies with UN hazardous materials regulations for toxic solids; label as 'Arsenic compound, solid, toxic, n.o.s.',Verify purity documentation to confirm classification as chemically defined arsenic sulfide, avoiding reclassification to waste streams
