Import Tips

• Use anti-dusting agents only if necessary for safety; excess may trigger note (g) review but typically remains classifiable

• Declare exact physical form (flakes) on commercial invoice to match statistical reporting suffixes

• Comply with REACH-like registrations if transshipping through EU; US importers need TSCA certification
