Import Tips

Verify purity and chemical composition via lab analysis to confirm classification as chemically defined strontium hydroxide per Chapter 28 notes

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificates of Analysis in documentation to comply with TSCA and DOT hazardous material regulations

Avoid misclassification as organic compounds; ensure no organic stabilizers exceed incidental levels to prevent reclassification
