Import Tips & Compliance

Provide assay certificates showing molybdenum content to distinguish from complex salts under 2842

Declare as 'chemically defined' with exact CAS number (12054-85-2) to prevent reclassification as a preparation

Comply with TSCA import requirements; notify EPA if annual volume exceeds 10,000 lbs
