Import Tips
• Declare exact impurity profile (ethylbenzene <0.5%) to justify Chapter 29 classification over Chapter 27
• Comply with MARPOL Annex II regulations for bulk liquid chemical shipments via chemical tankers
• Avoid common pitfall of incorrect flash point declaration; cumene requires Class 3 flammable liquid labeling
