Import Tips
• Provide Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming ≥99% purity and isoprene chemical identity per Chapter 29 definitions
• Ensure proper UN 2357 hazardous material declaration and DOT/IMDG shipping papers for flammable liquid
• Verify stabilizer content doesn't change classification; common pitfall is misclassifying stabilized vs pure forms
