Import Tips & Compliance
• Require GC-MS analysis certificates to confirm isomer purity >99%, preventing reclassification as mixed xylenes
• Use stainless steel IBC totes with proper grounding for static electricity prevention during import handling
• Declare exact CAS number (106-42-3) on commercial invoice to facilitate customs chemical identification
