Import Tips
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming anhydrous form and lithium content to meet chemically defined criteria
• Comply with TSCA registration for chemical substances and declare battery precursor end-use if applicable
• Avoid pitfalls by distinguishing from lithium hydroxide (2825.20), which is a different base compound
