Import Tips & Compliance

Verify purity and chemical composition via lab analysis to confirm classification under Chapter 28 as a chemically defined compound

Obtain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure HAZMAT shipping compliance due to corrosive nature

Avoid misclassification as a metal salt; provide certificates proving it's a chloride oxide
