Import Tips & Compliance

Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming 99%+ purity and CAS 104-76-7 to verify as chemically defined compound under Chapter 29

Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) detailing hazards as flammable liquid; ensure DOT-compliant packaging for transport

Avoid misclassification as mixtures; single-isomer purity prevents shift to Chapter 38 headings
