Import Tips
• Classify based on stoichiometric formula; bifluoride remains under fluorides, not acids of heading 2811
• Comply with DOT hazardous shipping regs (Class 8 corrosive); label as 'ammonium hydrogen difluoride' accurately
• Request advance ruling from CBP if purity <98% to prevent reclassification as mixtures under 3824
