Import Tips
• Specify isomer purity (p- vs branched) in CoA, as mixtures may classify differently under Chapter 29 isomer rules
• Comply with EU Biocidal Products Regulation equivalents for US import notification if destined for disinfectant use
• Use proper DOT shipping name 'Phenol, alkylated' for hazard class 8 packaging
