Import Tips
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and confirm inhibitor content (e.g
• 50-250 ppm) to prevent polymerization during transport
• Check for anti-dusting agents; minor safety additives allowed under Chapter 29 note (g), but excess triggers Chapter 38
• Ensure cryogenic liquefaction specs for bulk import to avoid gaseous state classification issues
