Import Tips
• Provide certificate of analysis confirming methanol purity >99% and absence of denaturants to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact methanol content; impurities exceeding 1% may trigger chapter note exclusions or alternative headings
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) for hazardous material handling; bulk shipments require proper UN packaging certification
