Import Tips

• Verify purity via Certificate of Analysis (COA) to confirm it's a chemically defined compound per Chapter 29 note (a), avoiding mixture classification

• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) documenting flammability and transport stabilizers if added per note (f)

• Avoid retail packaging over 300 cm³ to prevent reclassification under heading 2710 as fuel-like substances
