Import Tips
• Obtain EPA registration and provide detailed chemical purity analysis certificates as lindane is a regulated pesticide precursor
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) and confirm 99%+ gamma-HCH isomer content to avoid reclassification
• Verify end-use declaration to prevent diversion to prohibited applications; common pitfall is inadequate transport stabilization
