Import Tips

• Verify purity and chemical composition via lab analysis to confirm classification under 2836 as a peroxocarbonate, avoiding misclassification as organic bleaches

• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Certificates of Analysis in documentation due to its oxidizing properties and hazmat shipping requirements

• Ensure proper labeling for retail packs; bulk industrial shipments may qualify for lower duties but require end-use certificates
