Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and hydration state via certificate of analysis to confirm classification under 2816.40.20.00
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) showing it's chemically defined barium hydroxide, avoiding reclassification
• Avoid packaging for retail sale over 1.36 kg/net to prevent shift to heading 2827
