Import Tips
• Specify impurity limits in COA (p-menthadiene typically <2%); higher levels risk reclassification
• Monitor for auto-polymerization; temperature-controlled shipping prevents solid 'popcorn polymer' formation
• Customs may request comparative pricing data vs pure monomer to verify commercial grade status
