Import Tips

• Verify purity and chemical composition via lab certification to confirm 'chemically defined' status per Chapter 28 Note 1; include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for hazardous material handling

• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no organic stabilizers that could shift to heading 2831

• Check for REACH-like compliance if sourced from EU for nitrite restrictions
