Import Tips
• Verify purity levels (>99%) via certificate of analysis to confirm classification as chemically defined compound
• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) documenting flammability and handling requirements for customs clearance
• Avoid misclassification as mixtures by ensuring single-isomer specification in import documentation
