Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate from supplier showing <99% to confirm HTS 2905.14.10.00 classification; ≥99% shifts to 2905.14.20.00
• Include Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and ensure proper UN 1120 hazardous material documentation for transport
• Avoid misclassification as perfume ingredient; declare industrial end-use to prevent reclassification under Chapter 33
