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
