Import Tips
• Declare water of hydration percentage accurately; affects duty calculation and storage requirements
• EPA registration required for wood preservative uses; provide SDS with environmental hazard data
• Avoid shipping in paper bags—use moisture-proof HDPE drums to prevent dissolution en route
