Import Tips
• Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming ≥98% geraniol purity and acyclic terpene structure to avoid reclassification
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) detailing hazards (flammable liquid) and ensure proper UN-approved packaging for transport
• Verify TSCA registration for US import; common pitfall is failing to declare exact isomer content leading to delays
