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
