Import Tips

• Verify TSCA pre-manufacture notice compliance and obtain EPA authorization for US imports due to HBCD restrictions under TSCA

• Include detailed chemical composition certificates and stereoisomer analysis to confirm classification under 2903.89.40.00

• Check Stockholm Convention compliance; HBCD is listed as a persistent organic pollutant requiring special handling permits
