Import Tips
• Classify as UN 1509 hazardous material; require proper oxidizing agent labeling and segregation during shipping
• Submit detailed chemical specs to CBP to distinguish from organic peroxides in Chapter 29
• Monitor moisture content; hydrated forms may need verification to remain under anhydrous peroxide classification
