Import Tips
• Certificate of analysis must specify isomer purity >99% to qualify under specific item; otherwise defaults to 2904.99.50
• Use nitrogen-purged containers to prevent nitro group decomposition during ocean transit
• Pre-clear customs with binding ruling if first import to confirm technical grade acceptance
