Import Tips

• Document stabilizer as 'necessary for preservation/transport' only; specific-use additives trigger note 1(g) exclusion

• Include formulation disclosing exact stabilizer (e.g

• MEHQ) and concentration to prevent mixture reclassification

• Test for stabilizer leaching; improper additives may cause customs to classify under prepared chemical headings
