Import Tips

Label containers clearly with 'Contains Dibromoethyldibromocyclohexane - UN3077' and include stabilizer composition to comply with note (f)

Obtain prior TSCA notification for new chemical importers; existing manufacturers typically have PMNs on file

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'flame retardant' generically - specify chemical name to prevent 3824 reclassification
