Import Tips
• Document stabilizer as necessary for preservation (not for specific end-use) with concentration under 1% typically
• Ensure stabilizer doesn't confer new functionality that would reclassify as mixture under 3824
• Maintain batch records showing pentachlorophenol as principal component (>98%)
