Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming purity and acyclic unsaturated structure to avoid misclassification
• Ensure proper UN hazard labeling as flammable liquid; common pitfall is inadequate flash point documentation
• Declare exact carbon chain length and double bond position for statistical reporting accuracy
