Import Tips
• Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm classification as chemically defined alkylphenol per Chapter 29 notes
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) detailing hazards, as nonylphenol is regulated under TSCA and may require EPA pre-manufacture notice
• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; ensure product meets 'separate chemically defined organic compounds' criteria to prevent reclassification
