Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify purity certificate and chemical analysis to confirm classification as sodium sulfide under Chapter 28

• Include Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) showing non-radioactive, chemically defined status; ensure proper hazard labeling for Class 8 corrosive

• Avoid misclassification as polysulfides; bulk packaging common but retail packs may trigger 3824 scrutiny
