Import Tips
• Verify chemical purity and provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) confirming it meets 'chemically defined' criteria per Chapter 28/29 notes
• Ensure SDS includes hydride reactivity data to avoid misclassification as a hazardous material under DOT regulations
• Declare exact titanium content and hydride form; common pitfall is confusion with titanium carbide powders
