Import Tips

• Label with exact isomer name and CAS number (e.g

• 108-11-2) for customs verification against HTS specificity

• Declare any added stabilizers separately; note (f) allows them only if necessary for preservation

• Test for halogenated impurities to avoid shifting to halogenated derivatives under 2905.29
