Import Tips
• Verify purity and chemical identity with Certificates of Analysis (CoA) to confirm classification as chemically defined thiocyanate
• Ensure SDS and proper hazmat labeling for transport, as thiocyanates can be toxic
• Avoid misclassification as organic by confirming inorganic base salt status per Chapter 28 notes
