Import Tips
• Provide chromatogram showing cresol isomer composition to justify specific subheading over general phenols
• Label drums with 'UN 2076 Cresols, liquid' for DOT transport compliance
• Monitor for anti-dusting agents; per note (g), minor additives keep classification here if not for specific use
