Import Tips

• Include NMR and GC-MS spectra in documentation to verify positional isomer structure distinguishing it from other trifluorotoluene derivatives

• Comply with REACH or equivalent pre-registration if transshipping through Europe; prepare for DOT hazardous material shipping papers

• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'trifluorotoluene' generically—specify exact name to match tariff item
