Import Tips
• Include GC-MS analysis confirming isomer identity, as customs may require proof it's specifically terpineol
• Declare CAS number (138-87-4 for beta form) on commercial invoice for accurate HTS verification
• Check REACH compliance for EU transshipments; terpineols require registration as chemical substances
