Import Tips
• Provide purity assay (typically >99%) via CoA to confirm classification as chemically defined inorganic compound
• Comply with TSCA pre-manufacture notification if used in US chemical production
• Package in moisture-proof containers; declare as corrosive if in solution to avoid transport delays
