Import Tips & Compliance

Submit isomer composition breakdown (lindane content typically 10-15%) with import docs

Use DOT-approved flake packaging; avoid dust generation that could trigger anti-dusting agent reclassification

Confirm not for direct pesticide use to maintain Chapter 29 classification
