Import Tips & Compliance
• Document stabilizer content (<1%) to qualify under Chapter 29 note (f); excess may shift to mixtures in 3824
• Use UN-approved packaging for corrosive brominated organics to meet IMDG/IMCO shipping standards
• Check REACH compliance if transshipping from EU to avoid delays at US customs
