Import Tips
• Verify purity and hydration state via Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm classification under 2825.20; anhydrous forms may differ
• Comply with TSCA pre-manufacture notification if used in mixtures; include SDS for hazardous material shipping
• Avoid misclassification as lithium carbonate (2836.91); check for moisture content to prevent duty disputes
