Import Tips

• Include GC-MS analysis certificate verifying isoprene ≥98% and impurity profile for customs chemical verification

• Small package exemption may apply for lab quantities <1L but still requires UN2357 proper shipping name

• Avoid misclassification as Chapter 38 reagent preparation; remains Chapter 29 due to chemical purity dominance
