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
