• Karl Fischer water analysis certificate required; concentration must clearly identify methanol as principal component
• Avoid 'cleaning solution' descriptions; specify 'chemical intermediate' to maintain chapter 29 classification
• Higher water content (>70%) risks reclassification as dilute preparation under chapter 38
