Import Tips
• Submit HPLC or GC analysis reports verifying the exact isomer composition and percentage limits
• Label containers clearly with chemical name, isomer content, and safety data for customs inspection
• Avoid contamination during transport to prevent failing the ≥90% purity threshold requirement
