Import Tips
• Submit NMR spectra confirming beta-isomer configuration to avoid misclassification with technical grade
• Declare exact purity levels; impurities >2% may require mixture classification under Chapter 38
• Monitor EU REACH Annex XVII restrictions; beta-HBCD has specific concentration limits for textile applications
