Import Tips & Compliance

CAS 6032-29-7 must match invoice description exactly; mismatches trigger liquidation

Bulk imports require stability data for long-term storage; avoid anti-caking additives that could reclassify

TSCA pre-manufacture notice may apply for first-time importers—check EPA inventory
