Import Tips
• 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
