Import Tips

Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, GC-MS) confirming purity and structure as p-nitro-o-xylene to avoid misclassification

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and CAS number (89-87-2) documentation for hazardous material handling and DOT compliance

Verify no halogenation or sulfonation impurities exceed trace levels, as these could shift classification to other subheadings
