Import Tips
• Verify purity certification (99.9%+) meets industrial specifications to avoid reclassification as lower-grade methanol
• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) showing methanol content >99% to confirm classification under 2905.11
• Ensure proper UN-approved packaging for flammable liquids (Class 3) to prevent customs holds
