Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate (typically 99%+ AgNO3) to confirm classification as chemically defined silver compound under Chapter 28
• Include Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) due to corrosive nature; ensure proper Hazard Class 5.1 labeling for shipping
• Avoid misclassification as photographic chemical (3707) by confirming it's pure compound, not emulsion-ready
