Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, GC-MS) confirming structure matches enumerated 6-tert-butyl-2,4-xylenol specification
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) documenting purity >98% and absence of Chapter 29 exclusions like coloring matters
• Verify no added solvents beyond transport allowances per Chapter 29 note (e) to avoid reclassification
