Import Tips

• Verify purity certificate (typically 85-98%) to confirm classification as chemically defined terpineol, not mixtures

• Provide safety data sheets (SDS) for chemical handling; terpineols are irritants requiring proper labeling

• Avoid misclassification as essential oils (3301) by ensuring it's isolated compound, not complex oil mixture
