Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit certificate of analysis showing >98% purity to distinguish from mixtures; REACH/ TSCA registration required for chemical imports
• Declare exact CAS (137-32-6) on commercial invoice; pitfall is mislabeling as 'butyl alcohol' leading to wrong subheading
• For drum quantities, ensure proper venting instructions to prevent pressure buildup during ocean transport
