Import Tips
• Provide ICH Q3C residual solvent guidelines compliance; pharma methanol must meet Class 2 solvent limits
• Include end-use statement specifying 'pharmaceutical intermediate' to avoid medicinal product confusion
• UV absorbance specs critical; non-conforming lots risk reclassification as technical grade
