Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'for industrial use only' to avoid retail preparation classification under Chapter 38
• Obtain prior TSCA import certification from EPA; methylchloroform requires notification for new uses
• Test for azeotrope formation if blended; pure form must be verified to maintain 2903 classification
