Import Tips
• Document stabilizer type and concentration (<0.1% typically) to qualify under Chapter 29 note (f) rather than Chapter 38 mixtures
• Comply with IATA/UN 1086 regulations for Division 2.1 flammable gases in pressurized cylinders
• Test for polymerization degree upon arrival; any pre-polymerization may shift to Chapter 39
