Import Tips & Compliance
• Include GC-MS analysis to distinguish nerol from geraniol isomers, as Chapter 29 note (b) covers isomer mixtures
• Declare exact CAS number (106-25-2) on commercial invoice to prevent reclassification
• Check REACH/ TSCA compliance for chemical notifications before import
