Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical purity certificates and CAS number (95-63-6) documentation to confirm classification as pseudocumene
• Ensure proper hazardous material labeling (UN 2321, flammable liquid) and compliance with DOT/UN transport regulations
• Avoid misclassification as mixed alkylbenzenes; specify single-isomer content to prevent reclassification under 2707
