Import Tips

• High explosive potential due to dinitro structure requires UN 3365 or similar classification; use Type 5H3 drums certified for nitro compounds

• Maintain 99%+ purity documentation; lower grades risk reclassification as mixtures under 3824

• Check for ITAR/EAR restrictions if ultimate end-use involves defense applications
