Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate confirming >99% single isomer content to qualify as 'unmixed' under chapter 29 notes
• Provide documentation tracing derivation from petroleum or natural gas to meet specific subheading requirements
• Ensure proper hazardous material labeling (UN 2370) and compliance with DOT/UN transport regulations for flammable liquids
