Import Tips
• Include stabilizer content declaration; Chapter 29 note (f) allows necessary stabilizers if not rendering specific use
• Ensure flakes meet 95% minimum HBCD purity to avoid Chapter 38 mixture classification
• Document non-dusting treatment if applied, per Chapter 29 note (g) for identification additives
