Import Tips

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and confirm inhibitor content (e.g

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
