Import Tips & Compliance

Provide assay report confirming >99% AgCl content to avoid reclassification as mixture

Light-sensitive; ship in opaque, moisture-proof packaging to prevent decomposition

Declare as 'other silver compounds' explicitly; common error is confusing with gold chloride (2843.39)
