Import Tips

• Submit commercial invoice specifying technical grade purity and CAS number (3322-93-8) to distinguish from research grade imports

• Prepare for potential EPA scrutiny on brominated flame retardants; maintain records of intended end-use in approved applications

• Use DOT-approved packaging for import; declare as 'flammable solid' per UN 3077 if containing residual solvents
