Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide ACS specification certificate documenting <0.02% impurities to maintain Chapter 29 classification
• Label containers with 'For Laboratory Use Only' to prevent reclassification as industrial solvent
• Declare exact CAS number (108-88-3) on commercial invoice for automated customs processing
