Import Tips

• Verify purity certificate (typically >99%) as impurities may affect classification under Chapter 29 note (a)

• Include safety data sheets (SDS) documenting it as a pure chemical compound, not a mixture exceeding Chapter 29 limits

• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as solvent mixtures (3824) if sold undiluted; ensure commercial invoices specify 'chemically defined'
