Import Tips
• Submit third-party assay certificates proving >99.9% purity to avoid reclassification as commercial grade
• Register under TSCA Premanufacture Notice if annual import exceeds 10,000 lbs for new uses
• Use moisture-proof packaging to prevent hydration during ocean transit, which could alter classification
