Import Tips & Compliance
• Include assay certificate proving >90% BaO2 content to avoid classification as mixtures in 3824
• Comply with peroxide shipping regulations (UN1449) and provide exemption from explosive classification
• Avoid bulk industrial packs mistaken for luminophores (3206) by specifying non-luminescent use
