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
