Import Tips
• Batch testing required to confirm linear structure vs internal/branch isomers for accurate classification
• Include MSDS with flash point (68°C) and vapor pressure data for proper hazmat shipping classification
• Verify no added stabilizers/antioxidants beyond Chapter 29 note (f) allowances to prevent reclassification
