Import Tips & Compliance

Include stability data in documentation; solutions may require UN hazmat certification for transport

Label concentration precisely (e.g

40% w/v); discrepancies lead to reclassification as mixtures

Obtain prior EPA notification if used in US water systems; import permits may apply for large volumes
