Import Tips

Document stabilizer addition <0.1% as necessary for preservation per Chapter Note 1(f); provide stability test data

Specify stabilizer does NOT render product suitable for specific use beyond general chemical applications

Maintain stabilizer concentration logs; excess may trigger prepared chemical classification under 3824
