Import Tips
• Verify purity and hydrate form via Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm HTS 2833.29.10.00 classification as cobalt sulfate
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and ensure EPA/TSCA registration for chemical import compliance
• Avoid misclassification as fertilizer blends (Chapter 31); ship as pure chemical to prevent reclassification
