Import Tips
• Verify purity certificates to confirm it meets 'chemically defined organic compound' criteria per Chapter 29 note (a)
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) showing stabilizer use if present, as allowed under Chapter 29 note (f)
• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; ensure single isomer content to prevent reclassification to Chapter 38
