Import Tips & Compliance

Include isomer-specific analytical data (NMR, GC-MS) to confirm classification and avoid reclassification

Ensure packaging prevents dust formation per UN handling regulations for brominated organics

Monitor EPA persistence/bioaccumulation data; declare end-use to prevent scrutiny under POPs regulations
