Import Tips
• Verify purity certificates (e.g
• USP/EP) to confirm classification under 2905.45; impure glycerol may shift to Chapter 15 or 38
• Include chemical analysis reports in documentation to prove it's separate glycerol per Chapter 29 note (a)
• Avoid retail packaging over 300cm³ if labeled as fuel to prevent reclassification under 3606
