Import Tips

• Provide salt formation proof (e.g

• elemental analysis) to distinguish from parent acid under Chapter 29 salt classification rules

• Hazardous material declaration required (UN 2567); ensure proper UN packaging for transport

• Monitor for stabilizer additions that could shift to note (f) exclusions if not solely for preservation
