Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate (typically 99%+ toluene) to confirm classification under 2902.30, not mixtures
• Include Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) showing toluene as principal component for customs clearance
• Ensure proper UN-approved chemical packaging to avoid reclassification as dangerous goods
