Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure UN proper shipping name documentation for hazardous material compliance
• Verify purity certificates to confirm it meets 'chemically defined' criteria under Chapter 29 notes
• Avoid misclassification as a refrigerant gas (HTS 2903) if not meeting acyclic alcohol derivative specs
