Import Tips
• Ensure documentation specifies 'terpineols' not generic 'terpene alcohols' to match exact subheading
• Monitor flash point (88°C); may require UN3172 hazardous classification for transport
• Bulk shipments need anti-dusting agent declaration per Chapter 29 note (g) to maintain classification
