Import Tips
• Include ACS/AR specification certificate; lab-grade methanol requires proof of analytical purity for correct classification
• Label containers with 'For Laboratory Use Only' to prevent reclassification as general industrial chemical
• Verify stabilizer content <0.1%; added stabilizers must meet chapter note 1(f) for preservation only, not specific use
