Import Tips

• Verify purity and form (solid/flakes) via lab certification to confirm classification under 2815.20.00.50 and avoid misclassification as solution

• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and proper UN packaging certifications for hazardous material compliance during import

• Check for REACH-like restrictions on caustic potash; common pitfalls include inadequate corrosion-resistant packaging leading to shipment rejection
